FOLK ARTS OF
TUCSON MEET
YOURSELF
When defining folk arts (or any kind of folk activity, for that matter) the most important word is “community.” Folk arts are created by members of a specific community, are learned (often informally) within that community, reflect the aesthetics of that community, and serve the needs of that community. However, folk artists are not isolated anachronisms. Every one of the artists you’ll meet this weekend occupies exactly the same corner of the 21st century as do the rest of us. Each has the option of responding to the influences and challenges of the greater world. Most have jobs that have nothing to do with their folk art. Note: The late Stefan Tkachyk, a master Ukrainian woodcarver, for example, earned his living by maintaining the electric plant at St. Joseph’s hospital. Until he began to appear at Tucson Meet Yourself, his work was mostly respected by and shared within the local Ukrainian-American community.

VISITING TUCSON
MEET YOURSELF
FOLK ARTS AREAS
There are two areas in which you can experience visual folk arts at Tucson Meet Yourself: In the garden of the old County Courthouse, and on Church Street just to the east. Church Street will feature Yaqui and O’odham artists, while the Courthouse arcade will contain an eclectic assortment of artists from many traditions. Although some artists will have items for sale, all are prepared to demonstrate and discuss what they do. How to experience the Folk Arts area? What I like to do is take a general look-around to see who’s doing what and where, and then zero in on a few choices so as to learn more. Our invited demonstra-tors are gregarious folks, and will be happy and proud to discuss not only the “whats” of their art forms, but the even more fascinating “whys”. That’s what TMY is all about, after all: getting to know and better understand the marvelous diversity of the folks we share this place with!

holidays). Contact the Museum to schedule tours (520)383-0200 .
We Remember…
In the Folk Arts area, we honor the memories of Ernestina Robles Matus and
Marcelino C. Flores, Jr., family members of Yaqui artists and tradition bear-
ers, who died this year. We also remember two Festival artisans who have
died: Mehendi tradition bearer Rashda Ahmadi, and Jerel Alen Quamahong-
newa, a Hopi carver of Third Mesa, who carved both traditional and
contemporary Kachina dolls. This year we respectfully miss Japanese
temari artist and tradition bearer Fukumi Zapp, whose husband died recently.
Another good friend of Tucson Meet Yourself was Tony Morales, a Tucson
Meet Yourself volunteer for 20 years, who always helped with traffic control.
He died earlier this month.
As we continue with our work of celebrating our traditional arts, we also
remember Tucson Meet Yourself friends and honor their passing.
