Visitors who take a left after walking into a new gallery space in Mesa will encounter iconic images created by William Wegman, an artist renowned for using his own Weimaraners in his compositions. They're displayed across from Red Vapor for Ripe Strawberries, a 2013 oil-on-panel piece by Phoenix artist Rachel Bess.
Nearby, works by local artists Frank Ybarra and Joe Ray share a wall with a piece by Alexander Calder, an artist famed for making kinetic sculptures using mostly red and black geometric shapes. It's enough to merit a serious double-take — especially considering that the gallery is located on the campus of Mesa Community College.
