THE AF STORY
AF's museum gallery in its new location on Tombstone Canyon Road
Founded in 2019 by artist, entrepreneur, and collector Sloane Bouchever, a native New Yorker who made Bisbee home in 1990, AF is an immersive art experience celebrating graffiti and street expression. Curated to provoke thought and spark curiosity, AF invites visitors to explore powerful visual stories that challenge convention and connect across cultures. Each space within AF encourages discovery, reflection, and inspiration, offering an ever-changing encounter with the transformative energy of art.
Artemizia's name honors 17th-century trailblazer and artist Artemisia Gentileschi, who is known for filling her work with images of empowered women – a rare and revolutionary act for her time.
With her paintbrush, Artemisia fought inequality, reimagined what it meant to be a female artist, and represents our dedication to social justice and empowerment through art.
Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1656)
Artemizia's previous location in Historic Downtown Bisbee.
To make room for the ever-growing collection, AF moved from a gallery space in downtown Bisbee to its current location in the old schoolhouse in 2023.
To account for more space, AF renovated the former schoolhouse on Tombstone Canyon Road and moved the museum to its new location in 2023.
In 2023, AF installed a state-of-the-art film projection system in Gallery 818 and launched our AF Film Series: A regular members-only event that celebrates important voices and topics in film.
Showcasing powerful works by graffiti and street artists from across the globe, AF ignites curiosity and creativity through immersive art experiences that blur boundaries and celebrate bold expression. AF invites everyone to step into the pulse of art... where color, movement, and story converge... to connect with new ideas, challenge perspectives, and be inspired by the transformative force of human creativity.
