In a time where it seems the price of just about everything is skyrocketing, ShowUp.com is doing something unique—substantially reducing the price of the ShowUp NOW Pass that already offers great savings when visiting area museums and attractions. This discounted offer will only be available for purchase during the summer; the pass becomes activated the first time you use it and is valid for nine consecutive days and will expire at the end of the ninth day. It can only be used one time at each location.

Poetry in Motion’ April 11-Aug. 20 Connections Café exhibition space Tempe Public Library 3500 S. Rural Road www.tempe.gov/arts/events/cafe.htm This is an exhibition that examines history and home, particularly the memory of a distant home, featuring artists Kathryn Pinto (Tempe) and Adil Rahee (Mesa). Pinto works on paper and in bookmaking and printmaking. Her interest in landscape and environmental issues grows out of the repeated experience moving to a new city with a different climate and unfamiliar surroundings, just barely adapting to it and then relocating to another city to begin the process yet again. Rahee uses his difficult experiences from growing up in a Saddam Hussein-led Iraq as a propelling force that moves him to create his large-scale ceramic sculpture. Pinto and Rahee will join moderator Rebecca Akins from noon to 1 p.m. on April 17 in the Connections Café meeting room for the second Art Connections Café event where artists, arts professionals and others join to discuss art. The event is free.
