Tucson Collects (part 2)

Inside Private Contemporary Art Collections

Tucsonans are great fans of contemporary art and there are many fine private collections on display in residences and offices throughout the city. Continue your exploration of these exclusive spaces through a classroom virtual tour of selected homes and offices and see how museum-quality works of art are incorporated in actual living and work places. View outstanding contemporary paintings, sculpture and other media in situ by famous and emerging talents. Guest speakers include private curators, museum professionals, artists, individual collectors and other experts.  Gather valuable tips on how to display art, how to protect your collections, framing and more. The final session will be held at the home of one of Tucson’s most important collectors for an on-site tour of a first-class private collection. All other residences in this lecture series will remain anonymous in exchange for the privilege of photographing the collections.

The collections featured in this series have not been featured in previous classes.

Where: Tohono Chul Park Education Center (March 11 – 25).  Final session (April 1): At the home of a private collector to be announced in class.
