Lowe House Project, Tubac AZ–The Lowe House Project is inviting artists to participate in three upcoming events at the artist in residency program in Old Town Tubac, Arizona.
Calling All Artists!
Rio Compartido/Shared River
The Santa Cruz River Binational WaterWays Exhibit
October/November 2019
Now in the second year of the Rio Compartido/Shared River program, the Lowe House Project artist in residency, in partnership with the Friends of the Santa Cruz River, is inviting Mexican and American artists to participate with development of an exhibit focusing on the Borderlands cultural and environmental heritage of the Santa Cruz River, a waterway shared by both Mexico and the United States.
The exhibit will be a held at the Historic Lowe House during the Smithsonian Institute’s WaterWays exhibit to be held at the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park from October- November 2019. Participating artists – in-house as well as non- resident contributing artists – are encouraged to participate in the educational programming being scheduled such as hikes, tours, lectures, classes and visits to public parks and museums. These programs are intended to expand awareness of the habitat, humanity, history and cultural heritage of the Upper Santa Cruz River basin of the bi-national waterway.
Accepted artists will develop a body of work or works in any mediums for potential inclusion in the exhibit to run complementary to and concurrent with the Smithsonian WaterWays exhibit. Contact Nancy Valentine at [email protected].
