See the work of artists such as Anita Pope, Susan Lowry, Deb Mullins, Diane Cross, Donna Vogel, Jennifer Schu, Maya Henaff and Bill Agard.

“Our group is all local artists and our work is handmade, juried and perfect for your own home and terrific for holiday shoppers seeking original and unique gifts,” it states. “Our artists will be offering their creative work in fiber and fabric, glass, gourds, jewelry, metals, mosaics, painting and drawing, photography, pottery, sculpture, wood and mixed media.
The Superstition Mountains have inspired people to make art for many years in many different manners. The area is vibrant with our saguaros and a wide variety of wildlife that freely roam the wilderness, which many artists include in their art, it states.
