| About Us |
|
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. Classes & Submissions Available Now!
