On the eve of its 60th anniversary, the Arizona Commission on the Arts has embarked on a yearlong journey to map the course of its next half-decade: AZArts GPS: Groundwork | Planning | Strategy
AZArts GPS is more than our strategic planning process; it’s an opportunity for Arizonans to consider what the arts mean to them and their communities and for Arizona’s arts sector to reorient, reconnect, and move forward with intention.
In spring and summer 2025, the Arizona Commission on the Arts will visit communities throughout the state, hosting a series of community conversations.

AZArts GPS builds on a solid foundation: the enabling statutes upon which the Arizona Commission on the Arts was established in 1967 and the vision of those who came before us.
