Arizona’s top-ranked art fair returns

The 67th Annual Tubac Festival of the Arts will turn the streets, plazas and courtyards of Tubac’s historic village into an open-air gallery Feb. 4–8, drawing some of the Southwest’s biggest names in fine art and crafts to southern Arizona.

Arizona’s longest-running art festival, ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 10 nationally by Sunshine Artists, will feature roughly 200–250 painters, sculptors, jewelers, photographers and other makers.
