Arizona Consortium for the Arts has been established to assist and to be of service to Arizona artists. We are dedicated to fostering and supporting the arts and artists, including the literary arts (any genres — writers, poets, playwrights), the visual arts (any form — painters, sculptors, muralists) and the performing arts (music, plays, performance art).

 Our first project is a magazine titled "The Blue Guitar", www.theblueguitarmagazine.org.

We would like to provide opportunities to educate and involve schools, children and adults in expanding their artistic knowledge and horizons; as well as to, increase Arizona’s reputation nationwide as a cultural destination.

We are educators, artists, performers, writers and supporters of all artistic endeavors. We are proponents and supporters of the rich, vibrant and diverse community of the Greater Phoenix area.

The Arizona Consortium’s vision is to create a multicultural arts center, where children, teens and adults will become inspired, to develop their creative abilities, in conjunction with exhibiting artists, writers, actors, dancers and musicians who will share their expertise in a gallery, theater setting. Everyone will be welcomed there to learn and share their expertise from novices to professionals. We would like to build a new facility or find an existing facility for a theater, gallery, art studios, classroom space and a cafe. The Gallery will host art exhibits by emerging and established 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 emerging and established writers and poets to read and share 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.
The arts center itself will be a showcase of unique architecture, sustainability and technology. It will host unrivaled presentations and will have production capabilities for arts, performing arts and cultures. We will present theatre, concerts, performances, site-specific works, installations, screenings, lectures to the public. Our programming will feature contemporary work by choreographers, composers, media artists and others working in genres and disciplines still to be defined.
