Conspire
Conspire is a collectively owned and operated multi-use artspace, gallery, boutique, library, and cafe. We aim to cultivate, develop, and link together artists, designers, jewelers, crafters, and people who appreciated them; provide space for them to work and connect, and a platform to display. We work together to construct an alternative space where artists can shape and construct the entire operation. Based on local interests and creatives we aim at localized networking and building relationships within the downtown Phoenix art community

Arcosanti
In 1970, the Cosanti Foundation began building Arcosanti, an urban laboratory in the high desert of Arizona, 70 miles north of metropolitan Phoenix. When complete, Arcosanti will house 5000 people, demonstrating ways to improve urban conditions and lessen our destructive impact on the earth. Construction of the Arcosanti is designed according to the concept of arcology (architecture + ecology), developed by Italian architect Paolo Soleri.
