Tubac, Arizona is not just any
historic Southwest town; it is a
rapidly growing international art
destination. Tubac was estab-
lished in 1752 but its art culture
began in the 1940s and continued
to attract working artists who
established themselves here
throughout the 1970s when the
town’s slogan was born: “Where
Art and History Meet.” Today Tu-
bac is a mecca of working artists’
studios and fine art gal-
leries representing local,
national and internation-
al artists in all mediums
from traditional South-
west to contemporary
and abstract.
Diagonally across the
street from La Entrada
de Tubac is the vibrant
Tubac Center of the Arts
known affectionately
as the heart of the local
arts scene. The TCA offers
exceptionally curated
rotating art exhibits, a
master’s collection gallery
of past and present local
artists and a gift shop of
members work. Check out
current exhibitions and
