The Chamber advertises this festival in newspapers throughout the state, runs TV ads, radio spots, a digital billboard, online calendars, our website and through social media. An event program listing all artists will be available at the festival.
The annual Festival of the Arts is Arizona's longest running arts festival, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year. The event is held concurrently with Tucson's internationally reowned Germ & Mineral Show which brings visitors from around the World.
Many Tucson guests come to the festival seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of the Gem & Mineral show. The Tubac Chamber of Commerce, our volunteers, Village merchants and residents work together to create a welcoming atmosphere for our visiting artists.
What they're saying about us:
"Very nice, always enjoy the show. Gets better every year. I love showing my work there."
"The finest juried (art/artisan) art festival...Seek no further!"
Please apply directly thru Zapplication (note artists will continue to submit their booth fees directly to event producer at time of application but will submit the jury fee thru ZAPP.)

The picture says it all, not a single person under 65! I have only visited this show and it is a elderly snowbird crowd! Make sure you have items or jewelry that attracts the 65+ crowd. Also, expect lots of Western and Indian decor. I didn't see any painting or photography selling, mostly pottery and turquiose jewelry. I thought I would see people from the Gem show make there way over, but it didn't seem that way.
