Metropolitan Phoenix is home to some Big Brains – people busy creating and re-creating this city, making a home for fine food, eye-popping art and top-notch performance.
Building community, whether through architecture or social media.
Marking their turf online, on film and on the runway.
This spring, Phoenix New Times will honor a group of emerging creatives with our first-ever Big Brain Awards and we need your help.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
We’re looking to honor individuals, not institutions – the folks on the ground floor, rather than those already gathering accolades.
