Discovering Public Art in Tuscon, Arizona
We recently went on a trip to Tuscon, Arizona for a wedding of some dear friends. While there, we discovered that not only is Tuscon a fun city full of some great restaurants and history — but it has a wonderful collection of public art in the downtown area! Below is a sampling of the murals and sculptures that we discovered on a morning walk, as well as just some beautiful/colorful architecture.

Tuscon is one of my favourite cities! What a great idea to capture the art with your photography. Thank you for sharing. ~Thea
You’re quite welcome Thea 🙂 This was my second time in Tuscon but really the first time exploring the downtown area. Really loved it and will most certainly be going back for another visit!!

I agree. I hope to explore that area once again. I even find the flora and fauna so interesting… and the shopping! ~Thea
I do too! 🙂
You found some interesting subjects to photograph. What I noticed when I was there so long ago was all the color. In bright sun, color washes out and they made sure to have color. The colors were similar to those fabulous sunsets too.
The color was indeed beautiful, and what I think I was most drawn to. And yes, their sunsets are fabulous!!

That FOX theatre sign is stunning. Thanks for sharing these. Public art is so special and worth embracing. It makes me realize how lucky I am to live in a city that supports artists and community.
I completely agree! Public art beautifies cities and makes them more interesting — and it is an art form that is assessable to everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
