Tubac is a small place with an incredible amount of nature and history. The little pueblo has died and come back to life many times, and each time it has come back as something completely different. Tubac has gone from an O’odham village to a Spanish fort, to a Mexican settlement, to a mining community and now proudly hosts world class artists. 

Artists say Tubac’s location in the world’s ecosystem is embellished with “good light.” This good light provides a stimulating environment for an artist to express their creativity and talent. Art in Tubac consists of every medium available to an artist – oil, watercolors, charcoal, glass, ceramics, metal, and wood. Old Native American jewelry abounds in the various galleries and shops, as do extraordinary new modern designs.  Galleries display the works of artists from all over America as well as local established and emerging artist.
