"Contemporary" isn't the first word that comes to mind when thinking about art in Arizona. Tucson especially seems awash in cactus art, coyote art or something least involving feathers.
But several UA students receive full exposure to the world of contemporary art as interns for Tucson's Museum of Contemporary Art. While it may sound glamorous, the museum's executive director Elizabeth Cherry assures her interns it's not.
"Running a gallery doesn't consist of standing around, wearing black and looking cool," said Cherry, who is closing her own gallery to run MOCA.
