2019 - 2020 and 2021 - 2022

Thank you for all your effor ts in cre a ting a thriving ar ts communit y in Tucson.

Congratulations to the 2019-2020 and 2021-22 Arts Heroes. This program was launched in the fall of 2016, with a focus on all the people who make an arts experience happen. It is easy to focus on the lead actor, the baritone soloist or the sculptor who created the piece. While the stars of the show are important, so are all the individuals who work behind the scenes to make that result in the show coming together, the art exhibit being unveiled. These are the unsung heroes who make the arts of the state of Arizona such a vitally important part of our quality of life.
