Have an arts lover on your holiday shopping list? Here are some of our top local gift ideas

You can gift a loved one a membership to one of Arizona’s top art museums including Phoenix Art Museum or Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.

Whether you’re looking for visual art, music, theater or something else, there are plenty of choices.

A few perks of basic membership include unlimited general admission, invitations to members-only exhibition previews, discounted or free tickets to performances or special events and a 10% discount at the Museum Store.

Several shows are playing at the ASU Gammage in the 2021-2022 season including “Tootsie,” “The Band’s Visit,” “Hadestown,” “Come from Away,” “The Lion King” and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” Tickets are on sale for all shows, minus “The Lion King” — tickets for this show will go on sale on Dec.

This is the first time Dale Chihuly is featuring his work at a Wright home open to the public.

A few things available for purchase include one of Wright’s earliest designs, The Hollyhock House lamp, a Taliesin West apprentice apron made out of Cherokee Red-waxed canvas and a hammer with one of Wright’s quotes, “we create our buildings and then they create us.” Other gifts available in the shop include puzzles, form tiles, textiles and cuff links.

Walk into the shop and you’ll find that not only can you craft a live floral bouquet, but guests can also sift through the shop’s dry collection and create a keepsake floral bouquet.

The prints on the calendar— whether a relief print, a screen print or lithograph — pairs a print with each month.

The exhibition has been extended to March 13 — so if you didn’t have a chance to go before, now is the time to trek down to Scottsdale’s Lighthouse Artspace for this immersive experience.

Whether it is a special event like Canal Convergence, an exhibition at The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art or a performance at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, gifting your loved one a ONE membership with Scottsdale Arts opens the door for a variety of experiences.
