Artists Making Art Safely In Tucson's Historic Warehouse District
Tucson's Historic Warehouses, located in the Tucson Arts District, are a communal and cultural treasure. From a variety of historic downtown warehouses, Tucson's artists drive a vibrant art scene by creating work which beautifies and inspires our community. The goal of this project is to reduce potential health hazards for Tucson artists, teachers, arts organizations and surrounding neighborhoods by stimulating the following: pollution prevention/source reduction practices, waste minimization, decreased health risks and increased awareness in the arts community.

The Health & Safety in the Arts Exhibit
Shown at the Tucson/Pima Arts Council on 240 N. Stone from Nov. 17 until Dec. 21, 2000, the exhibit displayed work from a variety of Tucson's artists. The artworks were accompanied by an explanation of each artist's views on heath and safety in working with their medium.
