Jeffrey and I intended Arizona to be just a winter get-away from our home on the east coast. We joined 5 Arts Circle and were so delighted to find a sophisticated, thriving arts community here that we moved here full time.

5 Arts Circle is an excellent venue to support the local art scene as it encompasses a diversity of arts as well as introducing new artists, new media, and innovative works. It is especially helpful for newcomers to explore the varied cultural expressions of our region along with other people who may share their interests.

No other organization provides such broad yet intimate exposure to local artist and cultural organizations than 5 Arts. Membership provides many interesting artistic and cultural experiences that are not available to the average person while engaging with likeminded, active, intelligent, and fun members. My one check gives me five memberships, the satisfaction of supporting our community arts organizations, with interesting experiences. It is a brilliant concept!
