The 2025 Tubac Center of the Arts Open Studio Tour is bringing 26 outstanding Quail Creek artists together in individual gallery settings at 10 different locations to showcase their talent and sell their artwork. Plan to spend the weekend visiting the artists, shopping for beautiful artwork, and learning more about the artists and their different media, including fine art paintings, photography, designer gourds, mosaic glass, jewelry, decorative baskets, mixed media, wood/metal tables, and more. Multiple artists will display at each location from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, March 14; Saturday, March 15; and Sunday, March 16, with some giving demonstrations of their artistic skills during that time.
Last year the Tubac Center of the Arts Open Studio Tour brought over 600 visitors to the Quail Creek community locations. Visit Quail Creek and spend an enjoyable day shopping at the 10 artist locations, having breakfast at the Madera clubhouse and lunch at the Grill.
