Nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Arizona Arts Live curates extraordinary live events and arts experiences. We work under the Arizona Arts division at the University of Arizona to present our community on a global stage and make Tucson an arts destination.

Our groundbreaking, wide-variety programming encompasses theatre, dance, music, opera, film, installation art and beyond. You can find our work on campus within the historic walls of Centennial Hall, local favorite venues across Southern Arizona, and unconventional arts spaces nationally.

Since our inception in 2020, Arizona Arts Live has commissioned six major works with internationally acclaimed artists, including the Mark Morris Dance Group. Our presentation of Pepperland to Tucson audiences in Fall of 2021 was met with resounding success and we look forward to serving as commissioning partners for The Look of Love.
