The phrase deus ex machina (Latin IPA: [,,deːus eks ,,maːkʰina] (literally “god out of a machine”) describes an unexpected, artificial, or improbable character, device, or event introduced suddenly in a work of fiction or drama to resolve a situation or untangle a plot (e.g. an angel suddenly appearing to solve problems).

Deus Ex Machina is the cooperative venture of Phoenix artists Michele Bledsoe, Richard Bledsoe, Jeff Falk, Steve Gompf and Annie Lopez. Part of the vibrant Grand Avenue art scene, the artist run space is located in the historic La Melgosa Building.

Established in November 2007, this Remodernist art space exhibits some of the most interesting and beautiful art in the Valley, and other creative manifestations as well: poetry/spoken word, theatre/performance art, music and also video/film works. In short, Deus Ex Machina is an art space with a mission: to be a vital, cultural presence on Grand Avenue and to bring to the public challenging, post-modern visions of grandeur. Artists don’t create worlds, we make talismans that remind us of possibilities. Deus Ex Machina is dedicated to miraculous outcomes produced by the display of obsessive explorations.. and the spirit made visible.

God IS the machine.

Phoenix Fall Space is the gallery and studio of Denise L. Fleisch and Jimi Girdner. We are artists living and working in Phoenix, AZ.  We are members of Artlink of Arizona and the Grand Avenue Merchants Association.

Having our gallery in the La Melgosa building here on Grand Avenue has given us a chance to be in a creative atmosphere, and to really expand on our own work as well as collaborating with other artists on projects.

It has been a long journey for us to get here. And now that it has happened. We welcome you to our little (Big) world of fine Art.

Our gallery is warm and inviting and the place to be on First and Third Fridays.  We want to see our art through your eyes.  We want to feel your emotion when you walk in to our gallery space.  We want you to be part of our journey.

Studio 8 is a photography studio and co-op located in the Grand Avenue arts district in downtown Phoenix. Our studio is one of several industrial art spaces in the historic Bragg’s Pie Factory building on Grand. We are dedicated to the professional development and success of our fellow photographers and artists and as such, have established a collective to allow emerging photographers the use of a professional studio at an affordable price point.

The current principal photographers at the studio are Nicolle Clemetson and Andrew Urban. Their different styles and philosophies illustrate the strength of diverse elements joining together for a common purpose. That is ultimately the aim and purpose for the collective, because when we all work together, we all benefit.

This 1905 house in the Oakland-University Park neighborhood was built of cast concrete blocks, fabricated from molds to resemble quarry stones.  It was converted to an art studio and photography gallery in 2005. The current tenants, Michelle and Melanie Craven, contributed substantial sweat equity toward the renovation of the building by stripping and refurbishing the hardwood floors, installing slate flooring in the rear of the gallery, and installing attractive desert landscaping in the previously all dirt yard.

Today Tilt Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery specializing in historical to alternative photographic processes and mixed media projects. The gallery features local, national and international works by emerging and established artist.

The working studio and gallery of artist Barry Sparkman is located in the historic Bragg’s Pie Factory. Barry’s work explores the creative possibilities of nonobjective paintings and prints. His body of work reflects an intense interest in and respect for nature in all of its forms. Having lived in such diverse environments as Tennessee, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, Montana, and Florida, he consistently absorbs the look and feel of each place, storing a plethora of rich and differing images for use in the making of abstract works of art.
