The Max Gallery is owned and operated by Max Mikesell and Elizabeth, his gorgeous and talented wife (who teaches culinary arts at Pima Community College in Tucson). Max has been an art dealer in Tucson for over twenty-five years. He met Elizabeth in 1979, and both of them went to work for Ted DeGrazia, living at the Gallery of the Sun, DeGrazias studio where he created and displayed his world-renowned art. Ted was a guru, instilling in us a greater understanding of art than we had ever known, Max recalls.Max started his first Tucson gallery in what is known as Barrio Viejo, and soon discovered that being both artist and gallery owner/director meant doing justice to neither role. He went to work for El Presidio Gallery, becoming the gallery director before striking out on his own. These experiences and the ideas gained during this period are now being used to make The Max Gallery a unique and amazingly interactive gallery.The artists he represents are a diverse and truly eclectic blend that makes this gallery a must-see destination. Says Max, These artists are what make this gallery the truly special place that it is. Ive been blessed with their presence."Ive been playing and singing, both as a solo act and with various groups, since I was ten years old. It is not uncommon for people to walk into the gallery and find me performing music ranging from old cowboy stuff, to folk songs, to The Eagles, to ... whatever. Sometimes, when one or another of my musical friends drops by, visitors are treated to a group performance. Im pretty sure this is unique to our gallery. It really breaks the ice with new customers, and repeat customers enjoy it, too.(P.S. Ill provide a free serenade for all my buying customers whod like to hear one!)Max
