| - "The Alwun House Foundation stands as an exemplary model of engaging the power of art to transform lives and transform community. For more than 40 years, the Alwun House foundation has created opportunities for artists, and served as a pivotal beacon in the Garfield community and as a foundation for the downtown Phoenix arts scene. Their work extends across artistic and cultural boundaries, and brings diverse audiences, community members and artists together. Without the pioneering work of Alwun House, much of what is taken for granted in the vibrancy and success of downtown's flourishing arts community would not have been possible." Governor's Arts Award, 2013
As one of the first artist nonprofit alternative / contemporary art galleries in the valley, Alwun House has done much to support local and emerging artists. From supporting local schools, to improving the environment, they continuously seek to better the community.
And apart from all the incredible things they do, their events are also a blast. Follow them on Facebook to learn what they've got going on, or check out their website to buy tickets a bit cheaper. Their burlesque and theme nights are some of the best, they offer adult beverages, beautiful scenery, and a wonderful sense of community and acceptance.
