Library Art Exhibits
The Desert Foothills Library is the home of The Desert Foothills Gallery, a permanent gallery mainly featuring artists of the Sonoran Arts League. The wall mounted exhibition is changed four times a year allowing the Library to feature a continuous rotation of work by local juried artists.
All art displayed in the Gallery is for sale. Twenty percent of the sale value benefits the Library and five percent benefits the Sonoran Arts League. To purchase, please stop by the Circulation Desk any time during Library hours.
For information concerning the exhibits in the Gallery, please see the Library calendar. All exhibitions feature an opening reception where the public can meet the artists. Receptions are held at the Library at 3:30 to 5:00pm on selected Fridays.
The Library is fortunate to be the permanent home of other artwork that has been donated. We have three wonderful pieces by the late sculptor Robert Thornley as well as other Southwestern artists.
The Desert Foothills Gallery invites the public to experience a refreshing blend of bold creativity and cool ambiance at the 2025 Hot Art – Cool Show, on view from May 15 through October 1, 2025. This annual summer exhibition showcases an eclectic mix of contemporary artworks from thirty-eight local Arizona artists. True to its name, the Hot Art – Cool Show brings high energy, visually striking pieces into the welcoming, air-conditioned comfort of Desert Foothills Gallery – making it the perfect destination to escape the heat and experience the power of art.
