DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun
A gallery and small chapel built from adobe by the painter Ted DeGrazia, displaying his works depicting the Native peoples of the Southwest and Mexican culture.
Ted DeGrazia was one of the most popular American painters of the twentieth-century Southwest. His works are bright in color and are best known for Native children and religious subjects. He built this adobe gallery himself at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Stones are set into the floor, the doors are iron grilles, and the Our Lady of Guadalupe chapel next door has an open ceiling and walls covered with his murals, giving the place a rustic charm. The grounds cover about 10 acres and include a cactus garden and the painter's grave. Admission is about $8. Located northeast of the city, it can be visited together with Sabino Canyon.
