ArtiStories

Connecting people to the arts

What are the stories we tell about ourselves, our communal values, and what inspirationally guides us? Artistories is a real moment with a real person exploring the unique and important stories forming in our communities.

Artistories: A Podcast from the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona

Artistories is a mini-program and podcast, produced and hosted by Jenea Sanchez and Ammi Robles, focused on connecting you to the people creating the arts and culture experience in our region.

It’s a real moment with a real person exploring the story we tell about ourselves, our values as a community, and how they can inspire and guide us. 

Artistories is:

  • a conversation with bites for everyone at the table 
  • a treatise on thriving and surviving creatively in this space 
  • a pushing of the envelope 
  • an archive of our thing 
  • an accounting of our cultural capital 
  • a case for support airport 
  • a sonic picture of our dream in motion
