The metropolitan cities area has the largest growth in America with over 200,000 people moving there each year amongst whom are many young creative people who, attracted by the climate and prospects, bring a new dimension and vitality to the artistic scene. As Time recently stated about Arizona, "Americans discover the desert's clean air, warm weather, open spaces, and relatively affordable housing". The publication will be a visual mosaic of the metropolitan cities area, with a special emphasis on Phoenix, but other cities such as Scottsdale and Tempe will also be included. A specially commissioned photographic essay on the city will run through the book showing Phoenix and its surroundings, the urban sprawl, key buildings such as the Phoenix Central Library, shopping malls, urban projects and also evens such as the First Friday Art Walk which 15,000 people attend each month. An introductory essay by Nan Ellin, Associate Professor of Urban Design at ASU, will place the city and its art scene in a broader historical and political perspective. Commissioned photography by Tomoko Yoneda, design by Jonathan Barnbrook. The project is sponsored by Maricopa Partnership for Arts and Culture. No library descriptions found. |
