Southwest Contemporary

Reception: Chad Avery's Bisbee Art Drop Zine Launch Party at Chimera 27
2026-05-09 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Chimera 27 Gallery, 27 Main Street, Bisbee, 85603
It’s time for action.
In collaboration with Chimera 27 Gallery, artist and writer Chad Avery is throwing a party on May’s 2nd Saturday Art Walk to launch a contemporary, art-driven zine: The Bisbee Art Drop.
The Bisbee Art Drop will include wide-ranging news from the international to local, offering theories, reviews, graphics and photography, and in the process identifying trends and factors that will shape our future communities. Its mission:
– Inform Bisbee’s sizable and passionate arts community – and arts appreciators from everywhere – of news and events beyond our town.
– Connect and promote the arts community of Cochise County and the greater Southwest.
– Predict emerging trends in the arts and society.
– Open a new cultural window between Bisbee and the outside world that promotes Bisbee’s story, image and future direction.
The Bisbee Art Drop Launch Party is a manifestation of the arts. Join us After 5, May 9th, as we attempt to mirror the Art Drop’s urgency and gather the community’s energy for new transformations. Both artists and non-artists are encouraged to attend and network. Local artists will provide texture to Chimera 27’s already full gallery with sculpture and installation, while local performers will be featured throughout the night. Food and drink will be provided. And Issue #2 will be dropping.
It’s going down, then we’re going up.
