What a surprise to find such an architectural gem filled with De Grazia's work. I'm not sure how often the art changes, but there was a large variety of his work and lots of information on his career. A lovely yard too.

This was a fun discovery and the price is good, read FREE. The garden is both colorful and quirky - nice flowers and creative use of antique "junk". DeGrazia's style is somewhat similar to Marc Chagall's - colorful and minimalistic. The gallery rooms are organized according to specific themes - Father Kino, angels, Easter, etc., some of which are more appealing than others. A few minutes stroll to the DeGrazia designed mission in the back of the gallery is worthwhile.

Ok, so we went to the DeGrazia gallery and we should have read more about it (like the hours it was open - it closed at 4 the day we went - we got there about 5 to 4). Oh well. Easy enough to find off of a main road and plenty of parking. Nice and quiet area.Although we didn't see the gallery, they have an artist in residence in the studio that DeGrazia used (I think they are in residence for 2 weeks - maybe 4?) and that was very cool - ended up with a nice painted tile. Additionally, we got to go into the little church. All in all a very nice visit. The place has a great vibe - we spent a little over an hour there. We will have to come back to check out DeGrazia's gallery.

As you can see from my rating, I didn't find this interesting at all. I would hesitate to call this art. Check it out online first to see if it would appeal to you.

I am ashamed to say I had no knowledge of this artist but went because it was in the guides. We absolutely adored it. Really characterful, evocative pictures in beautiful adobe gardens and a lovely garden courtyard. now know that this is the artist whose work was used on the famous unicef card a few years ago where a ring of children hold hands. Magical.

Interesting gallery showing many works from this local artist. Some sculptures on the grounds and inside as well.

SW art never has been my favorite, but this gallery was amazing. We spent an entire morning going through the buildings, looking at the art. The short video tells about much of Da Grassa's life, and gives lots of helpful information. The audio of the Stations of the Cross gives an in depth description of the paintings in this area, and I certainly had a greater appreciation by listening to it. His grave, the chapel, his home, are other buildings on the ground that you can walk through. The grounds are beautiful. I can't say enough positive about this gallery. Highly recommended. Another plus--no charge and easy parking. No reason not to visit!

So glad we found this interesting art gallery. DeDrazia was a prolific artist & spiritual/religious person.

Last August I had to get some donations for a convention I was doing. I happened upon this wonderful gallery. They were very kind and gave me a $75 plate and a tone of brochures. As I looked around I found a wonderful picture of a little girl on a horse, and ended going back to purchase the print. It is set up in the old home of the artist, and the house is as interesting as the art. If you are into De Graia work, you'll love this gallery. If not, go anyway and you'll be converted.

Located in the Foothills on Swam Rd, 15 -20 min from most anywhere in Tucson. Th main gallery has lots of early works plus there is a changing show, check the web site. Should you so desire you may purchase art works in the gift shop. Enjoy your visit even more by strolling the grounds, stopping to visit the Chapel.
