Best Of Tucson®

Best Family-Based Art and Music Collective

Sacred Machine Museum and Curiosity Shop

Crazy talent runs in this clan. The husband-and-wife team of Daniel Martin Diaz and Paula Catherine Valencia (both Tucson natives) runs Sacred Machine Gallery and Curiosity Shop, located in the heart of downtown. Among the assortment of international visual artists shown there is Diaz, whose work adorns everything from parking garages to album covers. The couple also lead the rock band Blind Divine, for which Daniel plays guitar and keyboards, while Paula sings and writes lyrics. Their most-recent release is a five-CD box set, titled The One Hundred for the number of songs it contains. The band also features their son, Damian Demetrius Diaz, a promising recording artist in his own right.
