The West Valley Art Museum has paired its ethnic dress collection with the Ethnographic Artifact exhibit. Placed with the dress and costumes of the culture that created the utilitarian or decorative objects, such artifacts help to provide a greater visual perspective.

When you’re in the mood to watch the herons or king fisher birds, head to Canal Park. Found just off College Ave and south of Mckelllips Road, the lake and islands make for a desert oasis. Such a spot of beauty is shared between visitors who choose to fish on the side of the lake or explore the park’s trails.
