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.
