Tarot cards, clay and a little bit of magic ✨ Tucson artist Shazieh Gorji blends ceramics, baking and spirituality into one creative practice. From handmade pottery and “dream pots” to Persian sweets and immersive workshops, her work is all about slowing down, getting creative and finding connection.
For Tucson artist Alejandra Montaño, painting is deeply tied to family and legacy. Raised by a mother who spent decades as an artist and teacher, Montaño now creates her own work in a shared studio space, continuing a multigenerational tradition rooted in culture, identity and creativity.
From raves to crafts to Mother's Day activities, this month has something going on for everyone.
