Find a Show: Groundworks hosts new gallery exhibits at least once each month. Our gallery is open to submissions from any artist regardless of skill level, and youth under 24 are especially encouraged to submit. The Groundworks gallery hosts both themed group shows (representing many artists) and solo shows (representing the work of an individual artist). If you're interested in hosting a solo show and/or in being included on our artist registry, please email art@groundworkstucson.com with inquiries.
Apply to a Call for Art: Groundworks periodically posts calls for art on this website page, social media, our blog, and through email.

This event contained a virtual tour through all four spaces which involved digital art, physical mediums, short films, music videos, and live performances.

2024: RISO ADJACENT - Exhibit by the UA Riso Club
The UA RISO Club is happy to invite you to their first external exhibit. This showcase boasts a delightful array of creative endeavors from their members and was curated completely by the group. Although the RISO club focuses on underrepresented printmaking techniques, you'll find a lot of surprising art pieces that show the amazing range of these artists and makers.
