The School of Art welcomes the involvement and investment of friends and alumni. Your support allows the School to do more, to offer competitive scholarships, provide state-of-the-art studio space and classrooms, present innovative exhibitions by students, faculty, and visiting artists, and provide an exceptional education for our students. All this is possible because of your support. In return, we provide Tucson and Southern Arizona with a fresh perspective on emerging methods, trends, and knowledge about the visual arts

One link between the School of Art and the arts community is the Art Advisory Board, which promotes the School and its programs through fund raising events that feature visiting artists or School of Art faculty. By attending one of these events, you will have an opportunity to meet and interact with artists and scholars while also supporting the program. Contact the School of Art at 520-621-1251 to add your name to the invitation list for these special events.

Private receptions

One way to show your support this year is by attending one of our School of Art Private Receptions. These intimate events are held in private homes and other locations around Tucson, and showcase guest artists from our Visiting Artists and Scholars Exhibitions series. Being a part of these intimate receptions will give you opportunity to meet and interact with the visiting artists and scholars at informal gatherings in beautiful settings, prior to their public presentations on campus.

Contact the School of Art at 520-621-1251 to add your name to the invitation list for these special events.
