I love the Tucson Gem show and all the internationals it brings right to our doorstep (it is like traveling without leaving the country). During the show I go all 3 weekends and after work, not so much to buy but to see things that may never be seen again in in public before it goes into someones personal collection. Through the years I have gotten to know many of the vendors and look forward to seeing them and the things they bring. This is a great place to get things from places i have traveled, I often see things while traveling that are to cumbersome to carry for months on end, and can get them here. it has also iv en different viewpoints on where to travel and what people are thinking.

The strangest, but one of the most wonderful, photography galleries I've ever been to. The gallery…read moreis in an old Victorian house, not far from the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, and is a mix of a focused exhibition, and walls simply lined with framed great photographs. I was truly a kid in a candy store. The work in the gallery veers toward work with mass appeal, as opposed to anything really cutting edge, so there's a lot more Ansel Adams than something like David LaChapelle, but beyond those names that everyone knows like Ansel Adams or Annie Liebovitz, there's works by masters like Lee Friedlander, Elliott Erwitt, and great masters of the 19th century, especially the American West. It might feel a little strange to wander through room after room of an old house, but it's well worth it because there are treasures everywhere. Art galleries are free, and it's nice to walk around and enjoy the museum-quality work lining these walls, as opposed to some of the more designer-oriented galleries elsewhere in town.

Truth be told, we ended up here only because we were waiting for the Georgia O'Keeffe tour to start…read moreand honestly, it was a true highlight. The gallery is free and the art was amazing. It was largely Ansel Adams but they had quite a few of his rarer workers. I left feeling a bit surprised that I got to see all of that for free. It's definitely worth checking out.
