What is re:VISION??

re:VISION uses art to re-invigorate the dialogue about downtown tucson's future.

Have you seen a presentation by a developer or architect and wondered how an artist might approach developing an urban landscape? What possibilities are not being discussed by developers and elected officials, yet are of high value to artists and other community members? If there were no budgetary or practical considerations, what could downtown’s streetscapes, buildings, public and empty spaces look like? How can artists create participation, build a more innovative community, and broaden inspiration within downtown.

re:VISION is a laboratory for artists representing a variety of mediums. They will create innovative project concepts that will engage a wide spectrum of the Tucson community. The projects will be exhibited downtown and promoted online.

re:VISION intends to ignite a lively dialogue about the future of downtown.

Projects exist around the world that use art to engage citizens about important issues facing their communities. re:VISION brings such a project to Tucson.
