The Pro Art Path program was developed by Tubac Center of the Arts, TCA to serve artists wanting to pursue knowledge and gain skills in taking their art business to the next level. The program is offered through the Tubac School of Fine Art, the education division of TCA. The program was funded through an ARPA grant from Santa Cruz County AZ.
Tubac Center of the Arts contains over 1,000 art books in 30 categories ranging from acrylic painting to woodworking, all donated over the years. The collection is housed in the Studio Gallery, which serves as a meeting space and art gallery. Thanks to our volunteer librarian, Ray Harrison, the Jean A. Burgess Memorial Library has been organized and categorized so members and visitors are able to find and enjoy the library. Special thanks to volunteer Thea Arai.
