Out of the shadows, and into the light. Artists interpret the pride of who they are and their community in this exhibition, "Proud To Be Seen." Artists may consider picturing pride, an examination of what Pride means to them, being seen, a journey to pride, how do artists interpret Pride, the eyes of Pride, and self discovery through Pride.

Artists are encouraged to create and to enter work which is innovative in concept and approach, whether representational or abstract.  Work must have been completed within the last 24 months.  Work that has been previously displayed at TCA is not eligible.  All work must be the original creation of the artist. 
 

This exhibition is in partnership with Bruce Baughman Studio & Gallery in Tubac, AZ. Up to 50 works of art will be selected for a virtual online exhibition hosted on both the Tubac Center of the Arts and Bruce Baughman Studio & Gallery websites. From those 50, selected artworks will be presented at the Bruce Baughman Studio and Gallery. Selected artists will be responsible for delivery/shipping to and from the gallery. Awards will be selected from the gallery works and presented during the opening reception on Friday, May 27th.
