MISSION Tubac Center of the Arts is dedicated to the celebration and promotion of the arts through education, exhibitions, performances, and the collection and presentation of art that honors the artistic and historic heritage of Tubac and the Santa Cruz Valley.
Through the years, we have showcased artists from the world of opera, rock & roll singers, steel bands, string quartets,
Irish pipes, theatre as diverse as Dorothy Parker and Picasso, and everything in between. In this anniversary year, we are delighted to continue this tradition of variety and quality. The season begins with Scottish folksinger, Jim Malcolm, and will also include The Big Band Express, pianist Thomas Pandolfi, playing Gershwin and Hamlisch, jazz talents Lisa Otey and Diane Van Deurzen, TSO Concertmaster Lauren Roth, and the Fesitval of Four with guitars and flute. It’s an exciting lineup and one you are certain to enjoy! Season tickets are on sale now; a limited number of individual tickets will be sold after October 1.

High school students representing Nogales, Rio
Rico, Sahuarita and Walden Grove again produced some amazing works of art in a variety of media. Debbie Barrios and Jackie Zeitler from Rogoway Turquoise Tortoise Gallery presented Anastazia Woletz from Walden Grove
with a $1,000 scholarship. This award, for a graduating senior, comes from funds raised to sponsor HI ART during the annual Cowboy Christmas event at Rogoway and Tubac Territory Galleries. Families of students, teachers and community members enjoyed the Opening Reception and many returned the following week with other friends or family members. 100% of the proceeds from sale of HI ART works go to the students. Congratulations to all the award winners: Best of Show, Mackenna Elliot from Walden Grove; Sid Cedargreen Award, Layne Wilson from Sahuarita; Award of Excellence, Anastazia Woletz, Walden Grove; Award of Merit, Aisha Fregosa, Nogales; Best 3-D, Loyda Vance, Sahuarita.

SUMMER ARTSJUNE 3 – JUNE 26
Four weeks of creative fun await youngsters ages 6-13 at this year’s
Summer Arts. Registration forms are available on the TCA website at www.tubacarts.org.

Let your friends and families know to register now, as space is limited.
As I see it...
This empty space is about leaving
spring. The tank is almost empty. It is
time to refill and refresh our creativity.
As we shift gears during this transition
period, it is also time to recognize the
players in our creative life. One major
player is The Tubac Center for the Arts.
Thank you to all those who contributed
to the success of the exhibitions, to the
entertainment, and to the educational
opportunities. We also need to release
some disappointments and even mental
and physical fatigue. Enjoy the quiet
space and allow curiosity and awe to
fill your imagination. Wishing everyone
a memorable summer.

With the Hi-Art exhibit closing our current season it is with bittersweet feelings that we are approaching the
last weeks of the TCA 2013-2014 Exhibit and Performance season, and a great year it was! Allow me to take a moment to reflect on some of the highlights. How about the
compelling story told in dance and dialogue from the Performing Arts Series as well as some great musical memories. New marks were set not only in types of media presented; fiber, clay, glass, paper, paint, charcoal and lead, but also in exceptional quality seen in the members shows, Arizona Aqueous, and the now legendary Mountain Oyster Club collection of Western Art. We are drawing artists work from many corners of the country topped with juried pieces from 27 states for the “From The Earth” exhibit. Thanks to all who were instrumental in making this happen through your generous donations of time and money.
We intend to continue to raise the bar for the 2014-2015 Season and are excited to be bringing to you our “Woven Nation” exhibit next October and November. This exhibit comes from the remarkable and historic private collection of Navajo blankets, rugs and saddle blankets of Steve Getzwiller and represents some of the absolute best of this extraordinary American art form. Certainly a fitting sequel to “Best of the West”. And to top it off, this show is a double feature with a companion exhibit “Under the Desert Stars” showcasing some of the works and memorabilia of Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) from the private collection of Mark Sublette’s Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson. Maynard Dixon is one of the West’s most revered artists and this comprehensive collection will WOW you.
In the spring of 2015, March and April to be exact, we are mounting an open media exhibit “Árte de Avian” and as the name implies, its focus is birds. As Arizona and especially our particular locale are one of the premier areas in the country for bird watching with not only resident species but numerous migration routes, we expect this exhibit to create a lot of interest and enthusiasm. We have high hopes and anticipation that the creative wings of participating artists will take us all to new heights as the closing exhibit of 2015.
The 2014-2015 members exhibits, Arizona Aqueous, Hi-Art and Open Studio Tours and Summer Gallery all combine to promise an exciting year and the Performing Art Series is loaded with talent.
Your continued support is absolutely critical to our success. Thank you!

Hal Empie Gallery has been helping the town of Duncan, Arizona and the Duncan Pride Society raise money to restore and conserve a historic mural owned and displayed by the Duncan Schools. Painted in 1953 the mural is an oil painting by Hal Empie (1909-2002) is on one single piece of hand- stretched canvas measuring 7ftx30ft (Members News TCA 11/13).
The Hal Empie Gallery is pleased to announce that the monies have been raised and thank you to all of you that contributed!
The goal was $20,000.00, and to date over $26,000.00 has been raised with donations still coming in. Not only will the funds be used for the restoration, but will include advertising Greenlee County and the town of Duncan with public tours of the mural. Fine arts conservator Charlie Burton will head the project scheduled to start May 23.

JUDY MORRIS, juror of Arizona Aqueous, commented about her experience here at TCA. She travels throughout the world giving workshops, serves as a juror and is a name well recognized in the art world.
“Tubac Center for the Arts deserves to be very proud of their exceptional contribution to the art world. My first visit in February 2014 proved to be an A+ experience. I was impressed with their physical facilities at first glance. The Center blends beautifully with the cultural charm of the village and of the surrounding environment. Community involvement rates just as high! I witnessed active participation from small children to senior citizens. I was most impressed with the quality of classes offered. My personal teaching experience has taken me throughout the USA, to Europe, Mexico, Canada, and Japan for the last 25 years. My experience teaching at the Tubac Center was among the best.
The Tubac Center for the Arts offers art experiences that can be summed up with two words... Class Act!”
People are Talking
A random tourist who wants to be anonymous, comments about the Art Center. Myrna York asked these questions: What were your expectations of the Tubac Center for the Arts before you walked in the door? What was your impression after your visit?
Tubac is a special place filled with inspiration and amazing local talent. I think a misconception of the town is that ‘local artists’ means Southwest genre. Southwest art is a big part of the region but the Tubac Center for
the Arts showcases much more than that. With the variety of pieces on display it changed my perspective that Tubac ignites your personal creativity and granted me permission to be inspired in my mediums of choice. The Center has a good balance of established artists to the raw talent of students who are growing up in the area. A great venue to not only cool off from the heat but to learn more about all the talent that comes through Tubac and celebrates this special place that attracts all walks of life.
