The Blacksmiths are back and they’ve brought along Oscar and Orion, the Harbinger, the Pitchfork Turtle, and the Sonoran Rustback. They have brought all these and more to The Arboretum at Flagstaff as part of the 14th annual Botanical Blacksmiths exhibit. The Botanical Blacksmiths exhibit began in 2012 as a collaborative effort between The Arboretum and the Arizona Artist Blacksmith Association (AABA) to showcase ironwork created for the garden, to bring visual interest to the gardens early in the season, and to show visitors how art can bring year round beauty to their own gardens. The exhibit quickly became a visitor favorite and this year’s exhibit is no exception. In addition to showcasing a changing exhibit of 26 pieces of art in the garden, there is also an indoor component 20 nature themed pieces displayed in the Visitor Center Gallery. The Botanical Blacksmiths exhibit showcases work by 8 professional blacksmiths and metal artists from the Southwest. Most of the work in the exhibit is for sale and 30% of the proceeds benefit The Arboretum at Flagstaff. The Botanical Blacksmiths exhibit is open now and will be at The Arboretum until September 20 so come on out and enjoy the beauty of the gardens and the garden art.

Every morning, a volunteer naturalist leads a guided nature walk informing visitors about the different life zones of Red Rock State Park. The subjects discussed on this walk may include geology, wildlife, history, archeology, and plant life. The naturalists welcome questions during the walk, enhancing the learning experience.

Prints. People. Power

Clara M. Lovett Art Museum

September 15 - November 27, 2025

Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 - 5:00 PM

The Clara M. Lovett Art Museum at Northern Arizona University proudly presents Prints. People. Power., an exhibition celebrating the bold visual voices of artists from across the American southwest as well as Central and South America who harness the power of printmaking to address pressing social, political, and cultural issues while also celebrating our shared humanity. Featuring works from the museum’s permanent collection, we focus on artists from three organizations: the Taller de Grafica Popular (1937), the Movimiento Artistico del Rio Salado (1978), and the Arizona Print Group (1990s). The exhibition enables visitors to explore how artists utilize the democratic medium of print to amplify marginalized voices, inspire dialogue, and foster connections across borders.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.
