The Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance grew out of the Greater Oro Valley Arts Council.

The Greater Oro Valley Arts Council was established in 1997 by co-founders and Oro Valley residents, Bob Weede and Dick Eggerding.  

After a series of funding reductions and community assessments, the organization expanded it's scope of work to include communities throughout the Southern Arizona region.  In 2009, under key Board and Staff driven leadership, the organization amended its Strategic Plan and focus program areas, to establish the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance.
