Arizona Artist Awards exhibitions to debut at Phoenix Art Museum

New site-specific installations, works on paper, video works, and more by Arizona-based artists Alice Leora Briggs, Chris Ignacio, and Jan Talmadge Davids explore themes of fragility, identity, and landscape

Phoenix Art Museum will premiere the 2025 Arizona Artist Awards exhibitions, featuring works by Scult Family Artist Award recipient Alice Leora Briggs in a solo exhibition and works by Sally and Richard Lehmann Emerging Artists Awards recipients Chris Ignacio and Jan Talmadge Davids in a group exhibition.

In “Now What?”, Briggs reflects on human mortality and the passage of time through an intimate display anchored by her signature sgraffito, a museum press release notes. In adjacent galleries, Ignacio premieres a new series, “Everything is Ourselves,” that draws from puppetry and performance traditions to consider how animated objects function as extensions of identity, while Talmadge Davids showcases work from her series “repair(ian)” that examines the relationship between physical landscape and emotional identity and geographies.

The exhibitions will be on display from July 29 through January.
