Route 66 in stained glass

In a Flagstaff Live! feature about Aristocraft Studios owner Gary Dunn, we learn that one of his collaborative stained-glass art pieces features a bit of the Mother Road:

Dunn says he still does fine art work every once in a while for galleries when asked to. His most recent was a collaborative glass piece for the “It’s Elemental” show at the Coconino Center for the Arts.

Titled “This Mountain Town,” the large glass structure is the result of six artists’ cooperative efforts. The objective was to create something that represented the town of Flagstaff. To accomplish this goal the artists incorporated the San Francisco Peaks, a sun resembling a Kachina’s face, aspen trees, a Route 66 sign and historic photographs. Some of the other artists include well-known locals Judi Hartman and Cathi Borthwick.

A photo of the work can be seen with the Flagstaff Live! article.
