Spring Artisan's Market

Now I know that I often post about things that we've done in the Tucson area after we've already done them. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work for special events that are over once you read about them on these pages. So today, let's talk about an upcoming event: The Spring Artisan's Market at the Tucson Museum of Art.

Taking place next weekend (27-29 March 2009), the TMA will be hosting aproximately 150 artisans selling their artwork on the courtyard and lobby. This is a perfect time to pick up a gift for that special someone, or even do a little early Christmas shopping. With just a little searching, you'll be able to find a unique gift that someone might treasure. And consider shopping for yourself, too. One of the things we've tried to do when we go on vacation is to purchase just one really nice item to remind us of our trip. Sure it's harder than picking up a lot of trinkets, but over the years we've been much happier looking or using that special item. For us, examples include watercolor paintings of the local area, photographic prints, and the like. For you, well you decide.

Now if the art sale isn't enough, the Museum of Art is also open that weekend -- and it's free.

Have fun,
