  • Blair Bunting: Journeys, Neurodivergence and Belonging
    Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder as an adult, Bunting is self-introspective, reserving his most intense interests as the subjects of his fine art photography. Bunting’s work has a way of transporting viewers to the place where he clicked the shutter, whether that be a train trestle or the cockpit of a U2 spy plane. In April 2023, he navigated further from earth than any civilian, capturing extraordinary images along the way, which are now on view as part of this exhibit.

  • Dreams in Treehouses
    Paintings by Sarah Spencer
    On display from July 15, 2019 – present, located on the third and fourth floors of the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative – 1 (ABRC1)
    • Sarah Spencer is the creative director and graphic recorder of 26 Letters Graphic Recording Studio based in Phoenix. This collection of paintings represents the dreams of children looking at the world from above. We are all dreamers, and it is important to remember that we haven't lost our childhood visions; we have merely dug and climbed into the hole of work and life tasks. To escape the mundane, we can become creative and look at our world from a different point of view by climbing up to the treehouses of our imagination, where we can once again dream of what's possible.
