Meet Chandler-based artist Jose Benavides featured in our art exhibit ‘Greater Phoenix has it all!’

What do you love about being an artist in the Greater Phoenix area? 

I love how the whole valley has opened to the development of the art community over the last 30 years.

What role do you think the arts & culture plays in our community as a whole? 

Art is not a background scene or nice thing to have. It is a major economic engine and driving force that the tech companies use to attract professionals from all over the world. 

What is your favorite art venue/event in the Greater Phoenix area? 

By far, it is First Fridays, Art Detour and the state of the “art” galleries and exhibition spaces.
