Lionel Bigthumb Visuals is ready to open its latest artistic venture in Sedona, Arizona. Known for highlighting the stunning beauty of Antelope Canyon, the company will host the grand opening of The Adventurous Galleria on June 26, 2025. This event marks a new milestone for the gallery, as it aims to showcase the rich tapestry of Navajo culture and Southwest traditions through photography. More details on the opening and to view Lionel’s work can be found at https://lionelbigthumb.com/lionel-bigthumb-visuals-announces-grand-opening-of-the-adventurous-galleria-in-sedona/.
The grand opening takes place at 246 N. State Rte. 89A, starting at 2:00 PM. At 3:00 PM, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Sedona Chamber of Commerce. Attendees will have a chance to talk with Lionel Bigthumb himself, who will share stories about his artistic journey and the narratives behind his photos until 5:00 PM.
The Adventurous Galleria will spotlight a Free Navajo Photography Exhibit. Visitors can explore a diverse set of images that capture the landscapes and traditions of the Navajo people. This exhibit not only aims to spark interest in the area’s natural beauty but also deepens appreciation for the cultural heritage of the Navajo community.
“We are thrilled to share the stories of Navajo land through our gallery,” says Brenda Terris of Lionel Bigthumb Visuals. “This space is more than just a display of photographs; it’s a glimpse into the world of the Navajo people and the beauty that we are privileged to call home.”
Lionel Bigthumb’s journey into entrepreneurship began by helping grow the family business, Adventurous Antelope Canyon Tours, where his deep connection to the land and passion for storytelling through visuals first took root. What started as a role supporting the family’s tourism efforts evolved into a larger vision. Over the past few years, Lionel and his team have expanded operations under The Adventurous Group (TheAdventurousGroup.com), branching out beyond Page, Arizona to include locations in Sedona, Monument Valley, and Southern Utah.
Lionel Bigthumb’s works will also be featured at the Echo Cliffs Health Center in Tuba City, Arizona. This installation, opening in June 2026, focuses on the blend of art and Navajo tradition that defines Lionel’s work.
As a Navajo entrepreneur, Lionel Bigthumb channels his love for the land through six travel companies, offering airplane and helicopter tours around the stunning landscapes of Sedona and Page. Visitors are encouraged to explore these areas and gain more understanding of the scenes featured in his art.
For those interested in owning a piece of this art, Lionel Bigthumb Visuals offers premium metal prints at the gallery. Each print is crafted using a high-quality dye sublimation process and reviewed to meet Lionel’s standards for visual excellence.

“Launching The Adventurous Galleria is a pivotal step for Lionel Bigthumb Visuals,” Brenda Terris said. “We invite everyone to explore not only the visuals captured in these galleries but also to embrace the spirit of the canyons and the stories they tell.”
The opening of The Adventurous Galleria aligns with Lionel Bigthumb’s mission to promote cultural awareness and appreciation through art. This effort continues to inspire both the Navajo community and a wider audience to explore photography and the narratives it can share.
