What’s in the name?

The name Arizona Arts Live represents the organization’s place within the broader Arizona Arts division at the University of Arizona, working to present our community on a global stage and make Tucson an arts destination.

Arizona Arts is a unified gateway to our unique visual and performing arts assets, experiences, and educational programs. Arizona Arts brings together the highly-regarded academic programs of the College of Fine Arts with world-renowned offerings from Arizona Arts Live, Arizona Arts in Schools, Center of Creative Photography, and the Museum of Art.
