“Human & Animal Grossology” Arizona Science Center	Daily from Sat., May 24 until Mon., September 1	Central Phoenix	Museum Exhibits & Events Kids & Families
A friend of ours freaks out when he realizes the molecules he's inhaling have been inside our lungs, too. You other wusses better check out “Human & Animal Grossology” at Arizona Science Center beginning Saturday, May 24, and get desensitized to all the emissions and secretions of us... More >>

"One for All, and All for One: The Jumpsuit" Phoenix Art Museum	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., September 6 until Sun., February 1	Central Phoenix	Museum Exhibits & Events Fashion & Style
Oprah. Elvis. Charlie’s Angels. Prison inmates. Fashion victims all, thanks to the jumpsuit. We’d tease and taunt these dinos and ne’er-do-wells, but, God help us, the vexing garment seems to be making a comeback. Rihanna was recently seen wearing a floral-print number. Maggie... More >>

"No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" Phoenix Art Museum	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 14	Central Phoenix	Museum Exhibits & Events
Phoenix Art Museum has always had a thing for Asian art. Its permanent collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian artworks is not only massive, but also well-regarded. The "No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" exhibit is another amazing gem in PAM’s new series... More >>

"NOW: Selections From the Ovitz Family Collection" ASU Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 7 until Sun., September 28	Tempe	Museum Exhibits & Events
Onetime Hollywood strongman Michael Ovitz used to make news for all the wrong reasons: voicing paranoiac slurs about the “gay mafia,” causing schisms in the Mickey Mouse fantasy factory during his star-crossed Disney stint, and manhandling the help as documented in Suzanne... More >>

"Branded and on Display" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art	Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 14 until Sun., September 21	Central Scottsdale	Museum Exhibits & Events
It’s gotten so we don’t even see them, the carefully placed product endorsements that are part of everyday life. On an episode of American Idol, Simon Cowell raises to his lips a monstrous neon tumbler emblazoned with the Coca-Cola logo, and what we see is a man taking a drink. Our... More >>

"Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight" Arizona Museum of Natural History	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 28, 10:00am-5:00pm more dates/times	Mesa	Museum Exhibits & Events
Gigantic, pissed-off chickens with teeth. That’s the impression created by the imposing models on display in the “Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight” exhibit. After you check out these dentally impressive fowl, run for your life to Arizona Science Center and marvel at... More >>

“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition” Arizona Science Center	Daily from Sat., June 7 until Sun., October 26, 10:00am-5:00pm	Central Phoenix	Museum Exhibits & Events
We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never imagined that his acclaimed children's series The Chronicles of Narnia would spawn something as scary-sounding as an "immersive marketing experience." So trust it to late capitalism to concoct such a... More >>

“Midstream: New Ceramics From the Heartland” ASU Art Museum Ceramics Research Center	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., August 23 until Sat., February 28, 11:00am-5:00pm	Tempe	Museum Exhibits & Events
Ceramicists always wonder why they’re left in the dust while painters and sculptors get the glory. Let’s face it, clay boy, no one’s gonna care about your pot unless they can smoke it. Maybe that’s why Midwestern artists Teri Frame, Alex Hibbitt, and Liz Zacher decided to... More >>

"Up From the Ashes: Phoenix Goes to Mars" Arizona Capitol Museum	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday	Central Phoenix	Museum Exhibits & Events
Let's not pull punches. Phoenicians detest Tucsonans, their Birkenstock flip-flops and patchouli cologne, their laissez-faire approach to life, their liberal voting habits. (On the other hand, we've got Sheriff Joe and the idiots who keep electing him, so maybe they’re on to something.)... More >>

"Underworlderness" Heard Museum	Daily from Fri., June 6 until Sun., August 31, 9:30am-5:00pm more dates/times	Central Phoenix	Museum Exhibits & Events
According to legend, the Diné (Navajo) underworld was a supercool place to live for the Holy People. The weather was perfect, food grew in loads, and the staples of Navajo art – such as rug weaving, silversmithing, and basketry – were cultivated and honed. In his... More >>
