July 17 – November 14, 2021

FOUND:RE Contemporary and FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel are excited to announce the opening of their new exhibition, “XSCAPE: Landscapes, Cityscapes and Mindscapes,” with support provided by Artlink Inc. This exhibition cycle will present the work of 64 Arizona artists who are exploring a variety of landscape motifs, both realistic and imagined. The exhibition opens to the public on July 17 and runs through November 14, 2021 with the opening reception on July 17, 6-10pm.

This survey of some of the most inspired talent in the state is open to the public on a 24/7 basis and covers the entire ground floor of the FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel.
