Arizona Consortium for the Arts, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, charitable organization. We are eager to unite, advance, collaborate, partner, and support individuals and organizations in all aspects of arts, performing arts, literary arts and cultures in Arizona. Our vision is to establish a multicultural, multidisciplinary arts center with an open door policy! We are seeking an existing building or will build a new facility for a theater, gallery, art studios, classroom space and a cafe. The Gallery will host art exhibits by Arizona artists. The art studios will have working spaces for individual artists. There will be rooms dedicated to state-of-the-art painting and life drawing, ceramics, photography darkroom, sculpting, printmaking, recording studio, dance studio and jewelry design. The Center will have space for writers and poets to read their work. The theater will have a schedule for community theaters, musicians and performance groups to have a place to rehearse and perform. We will offer classes by the finest regional professional teachers and artists. One of the best known and most prominent projects is the highly acclaimed The Blue Guitar Magazine, noted for both its quality and its range. In the Summer of 2012, we launched the inaugural issue of Unstrung, a magazine of, for and about poetry. Rebecca Dyer, the co-founder and Editor-in- Chief of the Blue Guitar Magazine was one of the nominees for the 2012 Governor’s Arts Awards. www.artizona.org
