SAACA’s CATALYST MAKER & ARTS SPACE 
4500 N Oracle Road, Suite 110
Tucson, AZ 85705
Located in the lower level of Tucson Mall, between Sear’s and Dillard’s.

For the last several years, SAACA has been working with a variety of stakeholders, including artists, creatives, makers and engineers to plan a new innovative space for the community to engage with Arts and Cultural here in Southern Arizona.
 
The new space is located on the lower level of Tucson Mall in a renovated 14,000 square foot storefront seated between Sears and Dillard's.  The space will be a first of its kind development, housing over 20 arts and cultural disciplines and creative functions under one roof. ​
​
By its very structure, the space will function as a regenerative hub for all disciplines, functions and new creative collaborations in our community.
