Secret Gallery at ARRIVE Hotel

Tucked inside a retrofitted 1960s Route 66 motor lodge, this compact art gallery exhibits contemporary regional works with an emphasis on Southwestern and Indigenous artists. The space frequently hosts pop-up creative workshops and digital activations like ScreenTime, a wall made of retro television monitors displaying interactive video art.

The move: Browse the rotating Indigenous art and vintage television media display inside the gallery, then grab a craft cocktail by the hotel's outdoor courtyard pool.
