ROTATING EXHIBITS ON DISPLAY AT DEGRAZIA GALLERY IN THE SUN:
“Ted DeGrazia in the Studio of Diego Rivera” Exhibit – In 1942, during a two-month internship with Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, DeGrazia assisted them on major mural projects at the Palacio Nacional and the Hospital de Jesús. With their mentorship and joint sponsorship, DeGrazia mounted a critically acclaimed solo exhibition of his work in the foyer of the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. Thirteen of the works from that exhibition are now featured in “Ted DeGrazia in the Studio of Diego Rivera.” On display Jan. 31 – Sept. 3, 2025.

“Louise Serpa’s Portraits of Ted DeGrazia” Exhibit – A trailblazer in her field, Louise Serpa was the first female photographer to earn a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) card, cementing her legacy as one of the most respected names in rodeo photography. In 1966 she captured DeGrazia in an informal photo shoot at his Gallery in the Sun. These striking images, featured in “Louise Serpa’s Portraits of Ted DeGrazia,” are on display Jan. 31 -Sept. 3, 2025.

“The Way of the Cross” Exhibit – The annual showing of “The Way of the Cross” is on display Jan. 31 – May 28, 2025. The exhibit features15 original oil paintings that depict the suffering and crucifixion of Christ. Instead of the traditional fourteen stations, DeGrazia’s series includes the resurrection as the fifteenth station. “I never thought the cycle would be completed unless we had the fifteenth station where Jesus arises in glory,” the artist explains in a 13-minute audio recording that accompanies the exhibition.

SPECIALL EXHIBIT IN BISBEE, ARIZONA:
“Bisbee Through the Eyes of Ted DeGrazia” – DeGrazia and his first wife, Alexandra Diamos DeGrazia lived in Bisbee from 1936 to 1942. Originally from the mining town of Morenci, DeGrazia took to Bisbee wholeheartedly. During that time, DeGrazia managed the Lyric Theater, owned by Alexandra’s family. In a studio near the projection booth, the artist developed and honed his skills daily, painting portraits, landscapes, and scenes of daily life in and around Bisbee. Over 20 oil paintings from this period are on display at this twin-venue exhibit at the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum and the Muheim Heritage House through May 26, 2025. Highlights include a series of nocturnal downtown street scenes from the early 1940’s, in which we see the quiet, near empty streets of downtown Bisbee through the eyes of Ted DeGrazia as he made his way home from the Lyric Theater every night after midnight.
