Name of Your Cause
Arizona Consortium for the Arts has been established to assist and to be of service to Arizona artists. We are dedicated to fostering and supporting the arts and artists, including the literary arts (any genres — writers, poets, playwrights), the visual arts (any form — painters, sculptors, muralists) and the performing arts (music, plays, performance art).
We foster access to the arts for the general public by hosting arts and cultural events free to the public.
Our first project is a magazine titled The Blue Guitar. We feature Arizona's emerging and established writers and artists.
The One Very Best Thing About Your Cause
The Arizona Consortium for the Arts is a nonprofit, 501c3, tax exempt organization. The Consortium’s vision is to create a multicultural arts center, where children, teens and adults will become inspired to develop their creative abilities, in conjunction with exhibiting artists, writers, actors, dancers and musicians who will share their expertise in a gallery, theater setting.
We would like to provide opportunities to educate and involve schools, children and adults in expanding their artistic knowledge and horizons; as well as to increase Arizona’s reputation nationwide as a cultural destination. We are eager to unite, advance, collaborate, partner, and support individuals and organizations in all aspects of arts, performing arts, literary arts and cultures in Arizona.
Our latest project is the online publication of our inaugural issue of The Blue Guitar Jr. magazine! It features children’s fiction and poetry winners for 2010. To read visit BlueGuitarMagazine and click on Blue Guitar Jr. tab.
Through our arts, cultural events, our future projects and collaborations with other organizations - we will advance the promotion and preservation of arts and cultural, colorful, diverse communities in the Phoenix area and Arizona.
