"In the end, though, the arts are the purest expression of our humanity. We don’t make art to make money. We make art because we are human, and until discovered otherwise, no other thing in the universe has such an inclination."
- Michael Fenlason
Michael Fenlason, TCA Artistic Director
The staff and board of Tubac Center of the Arts are deeply saddened to let you know that Michael Fenlason passed away unexpectedly on Friday, August 2nd, the very day of the Opening Reception for the season ahead full of the exhibitions and performing arts that Michael orchestrated. As the Artistic Director at TCA, Michael raised the bar for exhibitions in all TCA galleries to showcase both established and emerging artists. Michael had not only a brilliant mind but also the wit and wisdom that endeared him to everyone he worked with. He will be sorely missed and remembered always for his many contributions to the arts and the Tubac community.
His family will be hosting a memorial for Michael on Sunday, September 15th from 2:00pm to 4:30pm at the Tucson Movement Arts Studio located at 1101 North Wilmot behind the Trader Joe's at Speedway and Wilmot. It will be low key and free form. His family plans on sharing food, stories, and, hopefully, some laughter.
Contributions in Michael's memory can be made to TCA, Habitat for Humanity and Strada Company in Tucson. Cards can be sent to the Fenlason Family at 2802 E Stratford Drive, Tucson, AZ 85716.
TCA will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays through September.
Seventy five works of art by TCA member artists will be on display in the gallery as we begin a new season with the annual Members Open Exhibit.
The Master Gallery hosts "Nos Sumus in hoc Unum," the work of Tucson artist, Carolyn Robles. "My works are my prayers that seek to remind us of what is most precious and that we are in this together (nos sumus in hoc unum)."
You'll find an exciting collection of unique works of art in the Studio Gallery's "Ex-Voto" exhibit.
