FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE | 12 Vision Gallery also extends its reach through a second exhibition space at the Chandler Center for the Arts — a perfect cultural detour before or after a show. This satellite gallery features smaller group and solo shows, open- call exhibitions and the annual Chandler Unified School District high school art exhibition. “We recently did an exhibition with Miguel Godoy, a local artist and Chandler resident who designed the ‘El Valle’ wording on the Phoenix Suns jersey,” Nakornthap said. Outside the exhibitions, the gallery is committed to arts education and engagement. Programs like Vision Kids offer free art classes for children ages 6 to 16, while Art Social workshops give adults the chance to create and connect. Make & Take sessions invite families to drop in and craft together, with past activities ranging from origami to watercolor postcards. Opening Reception for Cruising: The Lowrider Art Exhibit at Vision Gallery CREATING CULTURE Vision Gallery also partners with Chandler’s public art program, occasionally spotlighting artists who’ve designed city murals and utility box artwork. This fall, muralist Ariana Enriquez, whose work can be seen throughout Chandler, will present an installation inspired by the women in her family. Whether you’re a dedicated art lover or simply strolling downtown, Vision Gallery offers something rare: a welcoming, accessible and thoughtfully curated art experience — one that’s free and open to all. The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., inviting visitors to explore its ever-changing exhibitions at no cost. “It’s important that people feel welcome and not intimidated,” Nakornthap said. “Art is for everyone.” And at Vision Gallery, it truly is.
