Arts in the Plaza
Fine Art Festival

October 20 & 21, 2018

Arts in the Plaza showcases fine art from the region’s most exquisite artists throughout the charming setting of St. Philip’s Plaza.  A limited capacity, juried art festival, that embraces the creativity of our region.  Attendees can find fine art in all forms – metalwork, jewelry, photography, ceramics, glass, mixed media, acrylic, digital art, leather, sculpture and custom wood designs as well as live musical entertainment. 

Why?

The festival was established to showcase and highlight the immense talent of local fine artisans in our region.  The festival also provides an opportunity for local artisans to exhibit, sell and promote their art and craft in the community in a tranquil Southern Arizona locale.  The event also seeks to collaborate with local Tucson businesses located at the St. Philip’s Plaza.
