We are thrilled to be featured on the National Endowment for the Arts Blog!

Executive Director, Adriana Gallego and Communications Manager, Jenea Sanchez had the opportunity to sit down with Mary Lieb of the NEA for a conversation about serving the rich region of Southern Arizona and how our NEA American Rescue Plan grant will enable us to implement year two of a three-year initiative to equitably rebuild arts economies across our service region . Through her article, we think she beautifully captured the sentiments of the conversation.

“Adriana Gallego recalled that she joined the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona as executive director during the April 2020 Pink Supermoon. Gallego marked this time with the astronomical phenomenon because it signifies changes, new growth, and adaptability, all of which she has channeled since the beginning of her tenure.⁠

The past two years have not only been the start of something new for Gallego, but for the whole foundation, which has welcomed four new staff members since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Despite this transitional time, the Arts Foundation, which was recommended for a $500,000 American Rescue Plan (ARP) grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in November 2021, took great strides to fulfill their mission of inclusivity and support for local artists and arts organizations.”⁠
