We are thrilled to share that the Arts Foundation was featured in Tucson.com for our pivotal role in distributing over $3.2 million in federal arts funds to support local artists and organizations during the pandemic.
“I think what’s been working in the last four years is that we have been responsive and nimble to the needs of our community in real time and focused on building relationships with government and private donors,” said Adriana Gallego, who came on board as the foundation’s CEO weeks into the pandemic. “In the last four years, we have been able to bring in a historical amount of federal funds to the city.”
