THE AF STORY
AF's museum gallery in its new location on Tombstone Canyon Road
Founded in 2019 by artist, entrepreneur and collector Sloane Bouchever, a native New Yorker who moved to Bisbee in 1990, Artemizia Foundation (AF) is a contemporary, graffiti and street art museum and gallery that seeks to provoke, educate, and inspire.
Artemizia's name honors 17th-century trailblazer and artist Artemisia Gentileschi, who is known for filling her work with images of empowered women – a rare and revolutionary act for her time.
With her paintbrush, Artemisia fought inequality, reimagined what it meant to be a female artist, and represents our dedication to social justice and empowerment through art.
Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1656)
Artemizia's previous location in Historic Downtown Bisbee.
To make room for the ever-growing collection, Artemizia moved from a gallery space in downtown Bisbee to its current location in the old schoolhouse in 2023.
To account for more space, Artemizia renovated the former schoolhouse on Tombstone Canyon Road and moved the museum to its new location in 2023.
In 2023, Artemizia installed a state-of-the-art film projection system in Gallery 818 and launched our AF Film Series: A regular members-only event that celebrates important voices and topics in film.
By exhibiting a dynamic collection of influential contemporary, graffiti and street artists from around the world, AF seeks to provide lasting opportunities for everyone to engage with and be inspired by art.
