Bisbee through the Eyes of Ted DeGrazia
“Bisbee through the Eyes of Ted DeGrazia” is a twin venue exhibit in Bisbee, Arizona, featuring paintings from 1936 to 1942, done while Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia was manager of Bisbee’s Lyric Theater. It is displayed through Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, 2025, at the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum and the Muheim Heritage House.
These exhibits include a remarkable series of nocturnal street scenes from the 1940s, depicting downtown Bisbee's quiet, nearly empty streets as DeGrazia made his way home from the Lyric Theater every night after midnight.
Most oil paintings from DeGrazia’s Bisbee years (1936-1942) will be displayed. There are 21 in total at both locations: nine at the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum and 12 at the Muheim Heritage House.
The Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm, with a $10 admission. The Muheim Heritage House has an $8 adult admission, and children 16 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. It is open Thursday through Sunday, 10 am to 2 pm, or by appointment, call 520-234-3876.
Bisbee Through the Eyes of Ted DeGrazia is a collaborative exhibit developed in partnership with the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun Museum in Tucson, Muheim Heritage House, and Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum. This exhibit is made possible through the support of the Bert Whitehead Family.

my mother used to know him when i was in grade school in the 60’s…. she worked on some artwork for one of his projects and we would go to his studio on occasion back in the day.
Wish we could make it but health issues have prevented us from travel for over a year now. I need a carotid artery cleaned out and my wife needs two knee replacements. Hope we can get to Arizona sometime next winter.
