Research Abstract
Arts Programs That Revitalized a Downtown: Tucson, A Case Study
After the first year of Tucson Arts District arts programming, the change in the downtown was evident. Five years later, it is difficult to find available retail space. The programs of the Tucson Arts District revitalized a retail-abandoned downtown, and brought residents and visitors back into the center of town. The arts were the catalyst for this successful rebirth involving City of Tucson support for two components: development and major support of arts facilities for both the large institutions and expansion arts, and support for Arts District programming that brought life back to the streets and buildings surrounding these facilities. This Monograph outlines three Arts District programs that provided the major ingredients for the rebirth of the downtown: Phantom Art Galleries, the Arts District residencies, and Downtown Saturday Night.
