Step into the Museum Of Kinetic Art during Kinetic Saturdays, a thirty-year collection of found object mechanical sculptures made by sculptor, poet, performer Ned Schaper. This large fine art installation is an A.R.T. lab is built on the principles of Available Resource Technology. To encourage innovation, Schaper uses only available resources as the raw materials for his sculptures. The artist performs with and wears the sculptures throughout the evening as part of his Surrealistic Pop Science Theater. The theater's story takes place in the fantastical world of Beveldom, "a lost land of found objects" with host Mat Bevel, a large cast of characters played by Schaper and his kinetic puppets, and hundreds of parables and poems. In 2014, this kid-friendly exhibition broke all attendance records at the Tucson Museum of Art for its time period during the artist's solo retrospective. You can see the museum, enjoy theater vignettes and meet the artist in an intimate setting.
With 10,000 square feet, Medicine Man Gallery is one of the biggest galleries of the far East, and the only one in Tucson featuring monumental works on display in a sculpture garden. There is a variety of Native American jewelry, pottery, basketry and a fine collection of Navajo rugs. The place also showcases the works of potter Maria Martinez and the works of renowned Western artist Maynard Dixon.
