Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, 3830 N. Marshall Way, will is offering the “Rob Hammer: American Backcourts,” on view through April 13, 2025. This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the new West by showcasing the distinctive relationship between basketball and the Western United States through the lens of photographer Rob Hammer.
The exhibit presents a collection of images that capture the essence of basketball in the West—where the sport, though not traditionally associated with the region, embodies the pioneering spirit that defines the American West. Over 13 years and 300,000 miles, Hammer has traversed the Western United States, documenting rustic and makeshift basketball courts that tell the stories of resilience, ingenuity, and the enduring love of the game.
