Rooted in the shared language of hockey\, the exhibition examines the body as both subject and medium through a series of collaborative works presented publicly for the first time. Drawing on h is experience as an athlete\, Trouba covers himself in ink while wearing h ockey gear and propels himself across the canvas\, leaving behind marks th at record speed\, force\, and impact. Wegman responds by translating those gestures into paintings that reinterpret the movement at an intimate scal e\, creating an ongoing dialogue between action and reflection. Borrowing its title from the hockey maneuver in which a player forcefully checks an opponent with both hands on the stick\, Cross Check reveals how physicalit y\, play\, and creative exchange transform movement\, whether on the ice o r in the studio\, into a powerful form of artistic expression. \n\n“Cros s Check: William Wegman and Jacob Trouba” is organized by Senior Curator Alana Hernandez and Windgate Curatorial Fellow Sade Moore and made possib le by generous funding from NHL Unites. Additional support is provided by the ASU Art Museum’s Creative Impact Board\, Director’s Council and I nnovation Council.

India)\, Wanesia Misqu adace (Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa\, b. 1971)\, and Agnese Udinotti (United States\, b. Greece 1940). This multigenerational grouping of artists lends itself to a rich conversation about training\, history\, and material concerns. Through diverse alloy-based practices\, the exhibi tion explores connections between the body\, nature\, labor and regional c ulture\, revealing metalwork as both an artistic and cultural form of tran sformation. \n  \n“Wrought by Fire: Metalwork of the Southwest” is or ganized by Windgate Curatorial Fellow Sade Moore and made possible by gene rous funding from Windgate Charitable Foundation.

The two initially were uncertain how their practices would mesh as Dauphin is a mixed media/ceramic artist while Best is best known for her found object paintings and murals. However\, after their first meeting\, t hey formed an instant connection and friendship. Their conversations laste d for hours\, discussing their individual practices. Among the many common alities between both of their work was their desires to collect objects wh ether it be personal everyday items or found objects. Each of their collec tions were immense. Dauphin has an entire room dedicated to items she has saved over the years to use in her artwork while Best’s house has what s he deems as\, “paintings in waiting” tucked away throughout her house. Both realized that they wanted to peel back the curtain of their artistic practice and share their collection of objects but how? \nThat is when th e idea of Curiosity Chapel was born. The team searched for months finding the right furniture to house their collection\, creating a free-standing r oom from thrifted cabinets and dressers. Hidden inside the drawers were co llections of objects from both Dauphin and Best’s studios. With each new drawer to open\, a new discovery. Visitors spent hours going through each of the cabinets finding interesting collections of items along the way fr om bread tags to silver spoons. The question that frequently fell from vis itor’s lips\, “What’s next?” The duo felt this natural inertia to continue this installation and began discussing possibilities. Their resol ution: implode Curiosity Chapel. \nFor The Collectionists\, the artists de cided that their one guiding rule for the exhibition would be that they co uld only create artwork from the collections that were in Curiosity Chapel . While on the surface\, the exhibition appears to be about two artists th at have an affinity to collect found objects\, their practices are more in terwoven than that. This exhibition explores the intersections of Dauphin and Best’s practices including their affinity for numbers and both of th eir habits of creating rules around their artwork. However\, what seems to be most apparent in both of their work is how both of their artworks seem to collect something much more existential\, the passage of time. \nOpeni ng Reception\nFriday\, September 11\, 6-8pm \nRSVP LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T183911Z LOCATION:Vision Gallery\, 10 E Chicago St\, Chandler\, AZ\, 85225\, United States URL:https://www.visiongallery.org/event/the-collectionists-heidi-dauphin-l aura-spalding-best/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=ph oenix-az X-SOURCE-NAME:Vision Gallery X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.visiongallery.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Childhood Cancer Awareness DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260901 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261001 DTSTAMP:20260907T050434Z UID:18996-1788220800-1790812799@ballerdream.org CATEGORIES:community LAST-MODIFIED:20260907T050434Z URL:https://ballerdream.org/event/childhood-cancer-awareness/?utm_source=c aldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=phoenix-az X-SOURCE-NAME:Baller Dream Foundation X-SOURCE-URL:https://ballerdream.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Unwrap The Magic DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260901 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270101 DTSTAMP:20260907T050434Z UID:18999-1788220800-1798761599@ballerdream.org CATEGORIES:community LAST-MODIFIED:20260907T050434Z URL:https://ballerdream.org/event/unwrap-the-magic/?utm_source=caldiscover y&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=phoenix-az X-SOURCE-NAME:Baller Dream Foundation X-SOURCE-URL:https://ballerdream.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Sip & Watch DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260909 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270201 DTSTAMP:20260819T004652Z UID:10008648-1788912000-1801439999@shopdesertridge.com CATEGORIES:drink,sports DESCRIPTION:Sip & Watch | Select Games | Select Times \nThe District is th e place to be for game day!

It will feature the most expansive production design the duo has ever toured\, incorporating evolved visual storytelling inspired by t he television and space-travel motifs introduced in the Return to the Spec trum of Intergalactic Happiness era. \n\nQuote from Zeds Dead:\n“Journey of a Lifetime is one of the first tracks we uploaded to the World Wide We b as Zeds Dead way back in 2009. 17 years later\, it feels like it was a p rophecy. We might not have realized it at the time\, but we were in fact b lasting off into space and leaving behind life as we knew it. This journey is your journey with us as well. We’ve grown up together and celebrated life. We’ve created a world together\, and the Journey of a Lifetime to ur aims to be our most thorough exploration of it. This will be our bigges t tour yet\, as it’s taking place in large outdoor venues\, and we’re going to make it the best show we can make. It will be the grand finale of everything we’ve been working on. It’s not the end\, though. To quote something we sampled in a beat once\, “Now this is not the end. It is n ot even the beginning of the end. But it is\, perhaps\, the end of the beg inning.” We’ll be taking some time off in 2027\, so we’re going all out on production\, new music\, and stage design to bring you a new show t hat will take you on a magical journey. A journey of a lifetime. See you t here.“\n\n\nSince emerging from Toronto’s underground scene in 2009\, Dylan Mamid (DC) and Zachary Rapp-Rovan (Hooks) have built one of electron ic music’s most loyal and enduring fanbases. What began as DIY weekly pa rties under the Bassmentality banner evolved into global touring\, platinu m records\, and the launch of their influential independent label\, Deadbe ats – which celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year.\n\nTheir annua l Deadrocks residency at Red Rocks Amphitheatre has sold out every year si nce 2014\, becoming a pilgrimage moment for fans and a cornerstone of Nort h American dance culture. Over time\, Zeds Dead shifted away from exhausti ve touring toward intentional\, multi-night anchor events – treating liv e performance as a curated ritual rather than a standard run of shows.\n\n The tour will hit 15 dates across major amphitheaters and iconic venues\, including two nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre\, a return to Toronto\, ma jor New York and Los Angeles plays\, and select Canadian stops – marking some of their most significant routing in years.\nA rotating cast of for ward-thinking support will join the run\, including ALLEYCVT\, Daily Bre ad\, Deathpact\, Dr. Fresch\, IMANU\, Ivy Lab\, Mary Droppinz\, Mood y Good\, and Whethan. The lineup will vary across markets\, reflecting th e genre-fluid ecosystem Zeds Dead have cultivated through both their touri ng history and the Deadbeats label.\n\nThe Arizona stop\, produced by Rele ntless Beats and Low End Lab\, along this ‘Journey of a Lifetime’ will take place on Friday\, September 18\, and Saturday\, September 19\, at Me sa Amphitheatre. Support for this stop includes IMANU and Ivy Lab\, respec tively. Further details available here.\n\nJourney of a Lifetime is more than a tour – it’s a reflection point. A celebration of 15 years of ge nre-defying output\, from hip-hop-infused dubstep beginnings to cinematic\ , cross-genre spectacle. It is both retrospective and forward-looking\, re inforcing Zeds Dead’s position as touring architects and cultural mainst ays within electronic music.\n\n\nTickets for Zeds Dead Journey of a Lifet ime Tour go on sale Wednesday\, March 11\, at 10a MT.

Th ree different 35-minute workshops will take place on the half-hour startin g at 9:00am and Rangers Jacque\, Nikki and Olivia will be your guides. Po llinators: Celebrities like bees\, butterflies and hummingbirds get most of the attention but let’s not forget about the low-key beetles\, ants\, moths and more that keep the system in motion. You can also take part in a relay race to experience some of the obstacles a pollinator must overcom e to get the job done. Invasive Species: Learn about some of the invasiv e\, non-native plants in our area that take over habitat and prevent nativ e plants from growing – and reduce food available to our pollinators!

The struggle is real! Plant a Se ed: Become a Pollinator Protector by planting native seeds in a pot that you can take home. Find out which plant types and colors attract different pollinators so you can create a mini oasis in your back yard. \nOptional: Enhance your experience by creating a citizen science record of observati ons we make today (we’ll talk more about that during class!) using your phone or tablet. Download the free iNaturalist app and create an account a t home beforehand\, as there is limited connectivity in the park. (Seek by iNaturalist is an alternative that is geared toward younger users and doe s not use location data). \nOne workshop takes place on the Nature Center ’s shaded back patio\, one workshop is split between indoors and outdoor s\, and one is outdoors the entire time. There is minimal walking on compa cted gravel trail surfaces near the Nature Center and asphalt in the parki ng lot for the games. Wear closed-toe shoes\, sun protective clothing and a hat. Be sure to bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center. \nMEETING LOCATION: Nature Center \nNo pre-registra tion required.

Initially\, HIV received minimal government attention\, mainly b ecause it affected marginalized populations.    \n\nAccording to A Time line of HIV and AIDS\, by the mid-1990s\, after years of fear and loss\, t here was new hope as HIV rates were decreasing\, and new treatments helped people live longer\, healthier lives.   \n\nFast-forward to December 17 \, 2025. According to the latest update to A Timeline of HIV and AIDS\, th e Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program achieved a record 91.4% rate of patients rec eiving HIV medical care. The program also served its highest number of cli ents ever in 2024\, providing care to more than 602\,000 people.   \n\nHI V stigma can affect anyone. Together\, we can challenge misconceptions\, c reate supportive communities\, and make it easier for everyone to access t he care they deserve.     \n\nManaging Your Mental Health    \n\nYo ur story is more than a diagnosis. Your voice\, your experiences\, and you r health journey matter.   \n\nLiving with HIV can come with emotional c hallenges\, especially after a new diagnosis. Taking care of your mental h ealth is just as important as taking care of your physical health\, and th ere are ways to support your well-being throughout your journey.  \n\n\nC onnecting with a supportive community  \nChoosing affirming and understa nding healthcare providers  \nSetting goals and celebrating accomplishme nts  \nAsking for help when needed \n\n\nTaking care of your mental hea lth can support your overall well-being and make it easier to stay on trac k with routine checkups and medication.  \n\nEducation and Support   \ n\nBeing able to find a community where you can be your authentic self is important. Find a place where you can have judgment-free conversations\, f eel supported\, and thrive.  \n\nAt Prisma\, we provide tools and resourc es through educational events\, including HIV 101 workshops\, outreach eve nts\, and our annual Pride celebrations.   \n\nThese events help build community and empower you through education\, testing\, and support.   \n\nWe Can All Make a Difference   \n\nOne of the most powerful ways to challenge HIV stigma is to talk openly about HIV.   \n\nStarting a con versation creates an opportunity to:   \n\nAsk questions  \nCorrect misconceptions  \nLearn more about HIV  \nUse respectful\, stigma-fr ee language  \nHelp normalize conversations about HIV and sexual health   \n\n\n\n\nResources such as the CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together sti gma language guide can help us choose words that are respectful\, supporti ve\, and inclusive.   \n\nEvery conversation is an opportunity to reduc e stigma.   \n\nYour Journey Starts Here   \n\nFeel empowered by kno wing your status.   \n\nPrisma offers free HIV testing in a confidentia l\, welcoming environment so you can understand your status and take the n ext steps with confidence.    \n\nYou will also find:    \n\nSam e-day and walk-in availability  \nPrEP and PEP support in one place   \nConfidential\, respectful care  \nIntegrated sexual health services with no extra steps  \n\n\nOur clinic provides care that is connected\ , supportive\, and built for long-term health.

Integrating cutt ing-edge DNA research with personal insights\, Harden examines the tension between biological constraints and human agency through the lenses of add iction\, violence\, and antisocial behavior. Rather than using science to absolve wrongdoers or make guilt obsolete\, she challenges readers to reck on differently with fairness. Ultimately\, this revelatory inquiry urges u s to move past ancient nature-versus-nurture debates to imagine a more hum ane\, realistic vision of accountability for ourselves and society.\n\nKat hryn Paige Harden is a professor in the department of psychology at the Un iversity of Texas at Austin\, where she leads the Developmental Behavior G enetics lab. Harden received her PhD in clinical psychology from the Unive rsity of Virginia and completed her clinical internship at McLean Hospital /Harvard Medical School.

Initially\, HIV received minimal government attention\, mainly b ecause it affected marginalized populations.    \n\nAccording to A Time line of HIV and AIDS\, by the mid-1990s\, after years of fear and loss\, t here was new hope as HIV rates were decreasing\, and new treatments helped people live longer\, healthier lives.   \n\nFast-forward to December 17 \, 2025. According to the latest update to A Timeline of HIV and AIDS\, th e Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program achieved a record 91.4% rate of patients rec eiving HIV medical care. The program also served its highest number of cli ents ever in 2024\, providing care to more than 602\,000 people.   \n\nHI V stigma can affect anyone. Together\, we can challenge misconceptions\, c reate supportive communities\, and make it easier for everyone to access t he care they deserve.     \n\nManaging Your Mental Health    \n\nYo ur story is more than a diagnosis. Your voice\, your experiences\, and you r health journey matter.   \n\nLiving with HIV can come with emotional c hallenges\, especially after a new diagnosis. Taking care of your mental h ealth is just as important as taking care of your physical health\, and th ere are ways to support your well-being throughout your journey.  \n\n\nC onnecting with a supportive community  \nChoosing affirming and understa nding healthcare providers  \nSetting goals and celebrating accomplishme nts  \nAsking for help when needed \n\n\nTaking care of your mental hea lth can support your overall well-being and make it easier to stay on trac k with routine checkups and medication.  \n\nEducation and Support   \ n\nBeing able to find a community where you can be your authentic self is important. Find a place where you can have judgment-free conversations\, f eel supported\, and thrive.  \n\nAt Prisma\, we provide tools and resourc es through educational events\, including HIV 101 workshops\, outreach eve nts\, and our annual Pride celebrations.   \n\nThese events help build community and empower you through education\, testing\, and support.   \n\nWe Can All Make a Difference   \n\nOne of the most powerful ways to challenge HIV stigma is to talk openly about HIV.   \n\nStarting a con versation creates an opportunity to:   \n\nAsk questions  \nCorrect misconceptions  \nLearn more about HIV  \nUse respectful\, stigma-fr ee language  \nHelp normalize conversations about HIV and sexual health   \n\n\n\n\nResources such as the CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together sti gma language guide can help us choose words that are respectful\, supporti ve\, and inclusive.   \n\nEvery conversation is an opportunity to reduc e stigma.   \n\nYour Journey Starts Here   \n\nFeel empowered by kno wing your status.   \n\nPrisma offers free HIV testing in a confidentia l\, welcoming environment so you can understand your status and take the n ext steps with confidence.    \n\nYou will also find:    \n\nSam e-day and walk-in availability  \nPrEP and PEP support in one place   \nConfidential\, respectful care  \nIntegrated sexual health services with no extra steps  \n\n\nOur clinic provides care that is connected\ , supportive\, and built for long-term health.
