January 29 - April 16, 2000
The year 2000 marks the 75th Anniversary of Arizona Highways.
To celebrate this important milestone, the magazine has teamed up with Desert

best contemporary photography.(left: Jack Dykinga, Sonoran Sunset,

Titled "Our Land, Our People," this blockbuster exhibition will feature 75 photo enlargements -- some as large as 4x8 feet -- that will surround and envelop you in the majestic landscapes, ancient cultures, and fascinating people that make Arizona unique in the world. You won't just see the sites, you'll experience them through the eyes of the world's best photographers.
Few
magazines can compare with Arizona Highways.. A name synonymous with
breathtaking landscape photography, Arizona Highways created a new
standard for the travel industry. Their tradition was established many years
ago when editor Raymond Carlson decided to feature color photos in his modest
travel publication. Photographers like Joseph Muench, Ray Manley, Esther
Henderson, Ansel Adams, and many others led the charge. The magazine's editorial
support of these photographers and their work created, almost from whole
cloth, a genre of photography whose vision of the life and landscape of
Arizona remains vibrant and alive today. (left: Jerry Jacka, Hopi
