Opening TONIGHT 🎉 MAY 15 - JUNE 27, 2026

4 Common Corners is a group of 12 fiber artists drawn together by a shared sense of place and culture. In the United States there is only one place where you can stand in four states at one time. The junction of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah creates a geographical crossroads and encapsulates the heart of the American southwest. 4 Common Corners is an invitational group of art quilters who come from one of those four states, and we are drawn together and influenced by the unusual and striking beauty of our area. Our group is committed to creating themed exhibitions to share our unique area with the world.

Our goal for this exhibition is to promote the art quilt as a creative artistic medium while sharing our love for our region and highlighting our individual interpretations of what living in this area means for us.

This exhibition contains 36 pieces grouped into three collections of work: “Where the Pavement Ends,” “Abandoned,” and “Hidden Life.”

Explore bold colors and playful compositions in this two-hour, one-shot acryllic painting class with artist Mike Scieszka. Through his whimsical, vibrant style, you’ll create a fun, eye-catching piece using beginner-friendly shapes, color theory, and creative expression. Each month features a new painting subject to keep things fun and fresh.

No experience necessary — just come ready to paint, experiment, and leave with a unique artwork of your own. All supplies, beverages, and an exceptional teacher are included!
