You don't need a permit to create in Phoenix, so the whole city is one ever-changing art project; complete with murals, sculptures and multi-media art. There may be more opportunity in other cities, but Phoenix is a strong community on the rise. It's small enough to be noticed but large enough to have a sustaining and supporting culture.

Bars downtown are more than just places to relax with friends, they opt as art galleries with live music (the Lost Leaf), old movie theatres (FilmBar) and arcades with funky live performances (GypsyBar). Because the Phoenix art scene is so new, the community markets it any and every way they can, including First Friday ArtWalks through galleries & funded murals that make the mountainous backdrop even more vibrant.
