The DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun sits on the northwest side of Tucson, Arizona, at 6300 N Swan Road. It is a historic adobe complex devoted to the work of the artist Ettore "Ted" DeGrazia, and it is also known as the Ettore DeGrazia Gallery.
What you will find
The gallery shows DeGrazia's colorful paintings, which draw on Southwestern and Mexican subjects. The collection gives a clear sense of the regional themes that ran through his art, and the rooms are set up for close looking rather than quick passing.
Beyond the gallery walls, the site includes:
- his studio
- a chapel
- a museum space
What kind of visit it makes
This is a visit for people interested in art and in the Southwest. Because the gallery occupies a historic adobe building, the setting itself is part of the experience, and the studio and chapel give a fuller picture of the place where the work was made and shown. A visit can be unhurried, with time to look at the paintings and to walk through the grounds.
If you are planning a trip, the gallery can be reached by phone at +1-520-299-9191 to check current arrangements before you go.
The gallery is located in Tucson, so visitors can combine it with the wider city and the surrounding desert landscape of southern Arizona.
