In 2019, the inaugural Portal festival unveiled the “Portal to the Past” art installation, a winner of the New Arizona Prize Water Public Art Challenge.
The piece, designed by local Arizona artist Zarco Guerrero, is a sculptural gate that incorporates images acknowledging the importance of the complex canal system created by the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People that we still use today.
The “Portal” is located along the Grand Canalscape offering access to the grounds of Pueblo Grande Museum and an interpretive trail highlighting the accomplishments of the first inhabitants of the Valley of the Sun.
NEW THIS YEAR:
Additional programs exploring modern and historic water issues following the Festival:
October 20: The Gila and The Salt - Our River Stories.
A performance with masks narrating the stories of Arizonans in both the Salt and Gila Rivers throughout the centuries of water use in the Valley;
November 3: Water is Life!
A community conversation about the use of water in the community, its history, and the present situation of water sources in the Valley.
