Interested in renting the Gardens?

Alwun House is Downtown Phoenix’s vanguard art gallery and outdoor multimedia venue. Easily accessible from downtown Phoenix via the I-10, it’s the perfect place to host those special life events such as your unique destination wedding. This creative event space, located in the historic Garfield neighborhood, can host small gatherings up to 300 guests.

We provide a flexible venue for any special occasion. Picture your event at the Historic Alwun House, surrounded by intimate flagstone patios, lush landscaping with an illuminating ambiance, bar setup, and a stage for ceremony, dance floor or band performances. The patios can accommodate up to 100 people seated for dinner, or up to 300 for an open reception sans dinner tables.

Rental of the Alwun House facility includes use of our tables and chairs, food buffet tent and separate bar service area, stage, dressing room and both garden patios. Gallery use is optional and adds a classy destination location ambiance. Our gardens make for a beautiful canvas for you to personalize your event decorations per your thematic dreams. There are multiple areas to stage a ceremony, even the front yard lawn can be used for ceremonies. The lush front yard also becomes a perfect space to pose for those precious personal family photos to preserve your memories. Access is granted the entire day, allowing you time to setup and decorate in the morning, then host the event in the afternoon/evening. We permit self-catering, professional catering, even food trucks are an option. It’s pack-it-in and pack-it-out in the one day. You will also have access to safe, well-lit parking for 30 vehicles adjacent to the property.

Volunteers Make it Happen

Whether you volunteer for a couple of hours or a couple of days each month, you power our community programs and special art events. Our volunteers make Phoenix cultural arts and historic neighborhood communities come alive!

Your decision to be a part of Alwun House, volunteering your skills and time, is the foundation of Alwun House’s growth since 1971.

At a recent Volunteer Team Party, many were surprised to meet 30 volunteers that most had never met before (like newbies and different activities). We all enjoyed sharing stories and catching up on what our fellow creative types have been working on. Alwun House volunteer opportunities fit every level of interest and availability, including Event staffing, landscaping, pre-event preparation, gallery installation, decorations, art installation, and stage production, grant writing & office assistance.

Alwun House’s legacy includes so many “FIRSTS”

First Valley coffeehouse (with ‘Fiddler’s Dream”); Phoenix rave dance club; Reggae/Ska/Batucada African-Caribbean-South American arts festivals (8-10,000 revelers on Downtown rooftops and Wesley Bolin Plaza); award-winning youth and community arts projects (“Barrio Nana” the play); performance art venue; multi-media theatre productions (Alwun House, Phoenix Theatre, Valley Art); first professional gallery exposure for many of today’s “established” successful artists; Alwun’s two-decade-old and critically successful Exotic Art Show; first and only arts center with sculptured fountains and healing gardens surrounding verdant patios and stage. True to its trademark name, “all arts, all in one place, Alwun House.”

Your membership secures your legacy, as we wisely contribute to the downtown Phoenix arts community, while uniquely serving our culturally diverse Garfield Historic District neighborhood, ‘home’ of today’s hot art scene. The most notable recent community-wide Alwun House accomplishment was our successful leadership in forging artists and community resistance to a Downtown Cardinal Stadium, where today, Roosevelt Row flourishes; as acknowledged by Attorney General Terry Goddard and Councilman Michael Johnson. Join us as together we explore tomorrow’s vision today!
