Art represents the triumph over chaos, just as pulled-pork donuts represent the triumph over dignity. Expand your tastes with today's Groupon: for $8, you get two tickets to the Arizona Fine Art Expo in Scottsdale (up to a $16 value). Children under 12 can attend for free. Tickets last until the end of the season, allowing for multiple trips before the exposition closes on April 3.

The Arizona Fine Art Expo exposes the wondrous talents of more than 90 professional artists to amateurs and admirers in an engaging, creative environment. Artists undertake their individual crafts in a working studio, creating mesmerizing jewelry, paintings, handcrafted furniture, pottery, and more before an audience to prove their works aren’t actually made by indentured art elves. Each pair of wandering eyes can witness the delicate brushstrokes of still-life artist Sharon Weiser as she builds a motionless tableau or the steady shaving of Charles Taube, an experienced wood sculptor who unearths polished forms trapped within trees and blocks. Once patrons taste the excitement of a work in progress, they can create their own Impressionist lettuce artwork in the Expo cafe or explore the outdoors and obey the lure of the two-acre natural-stone sculpture garden, koi pond, and boulder waterfall set against the backdrop of the Sonoran desert.
