Launched September 2025
The following is a new iteration of Artlink’s In Residence art program, developed in collaboration with residential and commercial developments to foster meaningful engagement with Arizona’s creative community.
The Bower Willo brings 28 thoughtfully designed homes to Phoenix’s iconic Willo neighborhood, blending historic charm with modern living. Inspired by Willo’s timeless character, these homes feature open layouts, private rooftop decks or spacious side yards, all with seamless indoor-outdoor flow befitting a contemporary urban lifestyle.
Rooted in Phoenix and guided by a respect for the area’s legacy, The Bower Willo combines timeless character with enduring, contemporary design, providing an ideal environment to honor the creative community’s significant influence on the surrounding neighborhood. View more information here.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
As part of its commitment to community integration and cultural engagement, Bower ownership intends to curated art exhibition within its model home, designed to reflect and celebrate the vibrant creative spirit of central Phoenix.
This collection will be curated by ownership and representatives of Aldrete Design, each piece chosen to enhance the living environment and forge a connection between new residents and the surrounding artistic community. All artwork will be available for purchase by prospective buyers and residents, and will be presented in a digital catalogue for ongoing reference. Participating artists will retain 100% of the proceeds from any sales, with no commission withheld.
To further encourage art acquisition, each new resident will receive a $500 voucher redeemable toward the purchase of any piece from the curated exhibition or any other work by participating artists.
The initiative will be formally launched at The Bower Willo’s grand opening event on Saturday, November 15, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., where the exhibition will be prominently featured and all artists will be welcomed as special guests. Artworks in the collection will be featured on The Bower’s social media channels, and will include promotion of the artist.
