[Source: Si Robins, Downtown Phoenix Journal] — The beauty of our Downtown is that it’s always evolving. There was no greater evidence of this than the grand reopening of an old favorite, Modified Arts, this past Friday. Packed to the brim, beautifully touched up and deliciously catered, this opening weekend was a perfect reaffirmation that there is a great sense of community in the city core. On the other side of Downtown Phoenix, another familiar gallery, .anti_space, is planning its own grand reopening later this year. DPJ got a sneak peek at the expansive space, and it may just change the face of the Phoenix arts scene. Speaking of changes, now is the perfect time to visit Grand Avenue on First or Third Friday, as the Insecure Critic claims it’s Downtown’s new hip spot. And, if you haven’t made the move Downtown just yet, now is the right time. There are plenty of bank-owned condos with soaring views of Downtown, but they won’t last for long.
