Cox Communications Gallery Space
Ongoing
Art is as important in the business world as it is in one’s personal world, and for the same reasons. In a business space, the artwork helps shape the company’s unique style, spirit, and character, and convey that character to employees, partners, clients, and prospective clients in much the same way that one’s business attire conveys one’s personal style and professionalism.
Cox Communications is committed to the arts and the inspiration it can provide in the work space. Through the presentation of the community gallery space Cox Communications is supporting local artists in a big way. Why?As part of the SAACA Business and Arts Integration programming, Cox Communications employees are inspired daily to both innovate and create in the workplace.

After retiring from the restaurant industry, Lauri Kaye returned to her innate talent of drawing and launched an exciting career in graphic design to establish her studio, Create For The People, where she creates original and commissioned mixed media portraits. Kaye’s quest is to use her artistic experience and journalistic passion to capture the magic of the old pueblo and vibrant community in her latest series, “Tucson Portrait Stories” illuminating the people, places and events that make Tucson extraordinary. In each, textual information is incorporated into detailed drawings layered with photography and digital color. Kaye’s choice of ”tools” depends largely on what she can fit into her purse...a micron pen, sketchbook, sharpie markers and a smartphone. Having always been drawn to the raw, bold and primitive nature of graffiti art and murals, Kaye loves using unusual surfaces such as metal and wood, and bringing outdoor adventures indoors.

The Urban Experience
January 25th – April 23rd, 2019 The Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild (SAWG) is beginning its 51st year in existence. From an initial membership of 80 artists, the organization has grown to over 300 active members today. This exhibit presents a selection of 30 works produced by members of SAWG. SAWG is an association of water media artists who are dedicated to exhibiting work, increasing skill, exchanging ideas and promoting art education and public appreciation of water media through community outreach. Their website www.southernazwatercolorguild.com is a valuable tool not only for members but for people interested in what SAWG is doing. The group also has a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram that highlights the work of its artists for the public to enjoy. The SAWG Gallery is located in the Plaza at Williams Centre at the Southwest corner of Broadway and Craycroft in Tucson. The gallery is operated by volunteers who manage daily operations and serve as docents Tuesday through Sunday every week. Exhibits change monthly throughout the year to feature both juried and non-juried shows open to all members. In addition the guild hosts a show for area artists in all disciplines and one for school age children as well. SAWG’s Scholarship Program awards scholarships to Southern Arizona High School seniors continuing their education in art. Over $100,000 has been given out since the program began in 1986. Funds are raised in a variety of ways throughout the year. To donate to this worthwhile program, contact the Scholarship Committee Chair listed on the SAWG website. |
