Photographers & Writers
WHAT IF... 26 metro-Phoenix Writers were paired with 26 Photographers. WHAT IF... Each team were tasked with capturing the unique history, current culture, or imagined future of one of 26 city blocks in downtown Phoenix? WHAT IF... Artisan Colour jumped in to sponsor production of the 78-piece art exhibit?
Sculptor/Painter
AND WHAT IF... Renowned painter/sculptor, Rafael Navarro, captured his vision of all 26 city blocks on 4x4 wood blocks?

Debut & Tour
Before 26 Blocks opened to the public, The Arizona Republic declared the collaborative art exhibit, "The #1 thing to do in Phoenix on the weekend of May 7th, 2010."
The debut of 26 Blocks at After Hours Gallery saw the largest opening the gallery ever had, with over 1000 in attendance.
The exhibit toured Phoenix for 14 straight month's (to the enjoyment and education of nearly 1/2 million Phoenicians and visitors).
That's what we did.

App includes 45-min soundtrack by Phoenix solo pianist Charles Wells and electronic rock outfit, Mr. Meeble.
