Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance

SAACA exists to ensure that, through engagement in arts and culture, our communities produce strong, inspired citizens. SAACA enlists artists, businesses, governments, and individuals to expand artistic and cultural opportunities in their respective communities.  We believe that economic development and the arts go hand in hand – they cannot exist without the other.  

To enhance access to the arts and to promote cultural awareness in the communities it serves, SAACA presents large-scale festivals, events and other collaborative and cross sector programming. The Alliance also promotes educational opportunities in the arts and culture for both the young and the old. The organization seeks to preserve and expand the arts in Southern Arizona in order to effectively advocate for a permanent public funding stream for the Arts in Southern Arizona.
