The Artemizia Foundation in Bisbee, Arizona continues to evolve as a dynamic cultural hub, and this summer, we’re excited to unveil several thrilling developments that reflect our ongoing commitment to art, innovation, and community engagement.

The Artemizia Foundation is thrilled to announce the opening of Of Watchers, Tricksters, and the Bold, a dynamic new exhibition by acclaimed contemporary artist Michele Mikesell. Hosted at the Foundation’s vibrant Gallery 818 space in Bisbee, Arizona, the exhibition will run from Saturday, May 17 through Sunday, June 22, 2025.

Mikesell, known for her enigmatic portraits and symbolic storytelling, presents a compelling collection of new paintings that delve into themes of observation, duality, and daring. Of Watchers, Tricksters, and the Bold captures the essence of human and animal archetypes through Mikesell’s signature blend of realism, patterns and abstraction, weaving together mythic narratives with modern sensibilities.
