Fine Art Gallery
One of Tucson’s best kept secrets
Fine Art Gallery
Renovated in 2018, the Gallery is the perfect place to sit alone or gather with friends. Many pieces are for sale.
The Gallery hosts multiple exhibitions every year, ranging from solo artist shows, to historical multi-media exhibits and touring shows from museums and galleries around the world. A public space, the Gallery welcomes thousands of people each week, young and old, Jewish and non-Jewish. All visitors can engage with the images and ideas expressed in this unique public space.
Second Sundays in 2022: January 9, February 13, March 13, and April 10 from 10-11:30am
Join us for Second Sunday art events each month to celebrate revolving exhibits in the Fine Art Gallery, explore all of the art around our facility, and listen to live music. The events are free and open to the public.
Our January Second Sundays art event celebrates the opening of “Art by Inspired Women.” With works by Arlene Eisen, Catherine Pearson, Diane C. Taylor, Dotty Woody, Jill Janis, Lynne East-Itkin and Meridith Little, the show will feature a variety of media such as paintings, sculptures, and jewelry.
“Art by Inspired Women” came about when two friends had seen others display work in the J’s Fine Art Gallery and being artists themselves, they imagined exhibiting their work in the space. Given the size of the gallery, they reached out to other artist friends to participate. Ultimately, a talented group of seven women was established and they began meeting over Zoom to plan this inspiring multi-disciplinary show.
This exhibit will be on display through February 22.
Stop in, get inspired, and stay for Open Studio 11am-3pm where you can create your own masterpiece in our incredible art studio space. Some supplies are available, but feel free to bring your own, too!
Sports + Wellness Gallery
The J is also home to a collection of work by Tucson artist Lauri Marks Kaye, which lives in our Sports and Wellness hallway. This work, part of the “Portrait Stories” series, is a unique and vibrant blend of desert life, eclectic and passionate people, fascinating history and endless opportunity.
