The Rocking S Art Ranch is a complex of artist studios, providing studio space to 20 artists. The ranch has both private and shared studios, ceramic facilities, and a common courtyard. Studio spaces can also be rented, when available, for short term projects and exhibitions. We are currently full, but vacancies come up regularly.

If you are interested in a studio, please contact us for information, a tour, or to be added to our waiting list. We host regular artist video nights, open studios, critique groups and talks. The Rocking S was founded in 2021 by artist Patricia Sannit and visionaries Herb and Laura Roskind. Our site manager is Jessica Abril, with invaluable assistance from Rosie and Roger.

The Rocking S Art Ranch is an outgrowth of ArtFarm, a collective of Arizona artists, founded in 2021 by Christopher Jagmin, Mimi Jardine, and Patricia Sannit, with the goal to develop the Phoenix art community by promoting and inspiring artists to excellence. We are committed to expanding opportunities for artists to find studio space, exhibit their work and to create opportunities for art to be seen and experienced in every community across the Valley.

By encouraging creative expression, thoughtful and positive discussion, promoting critical thinking, and examining the questions that shape and inspire Phoenix culture, ArtFarm envisions an art community that is thriving, visible and accessible to all.

During the pandemic, Art Farm, which now includes Lisa Olson of Practical Art,  organized three distanced exhibitions, Roadside Attraction. Artists from across the valley presented their work to the public in a safe, distanced experience.
