TUCSON, AZ, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After 2 ½ years of showcasing the creativity of about 30 local artists at 300 E Congress Street, The Tucson Gallery has closed its original location to prepare for a bigger, better art gallery experience in downtown Tucson. “The Proper Shops in downtown Tucson provided the ideal space to launch The Tucson Gallery, test new art products, refine our retail approach, and build strong connections with our Tucson art community,” said co-owner Tom Heath.
Co-founder Darren Jones explained, ‘After reviewing our first two years, it became clear the move was necessary. The Tucson Gallery was generating consistent revenue, but the limited square footage restricted growth. We realized we needed a larger downtown Tucson space, and when the opportunity presented itself, after careful meetings and deliberation, we made the decision to expand to 245 E Congress Street.’
The new gallery, located at 245 E Congress Street, will officially open its doors with a Grand Opening Weekend Celebration on October 3, 4, and 5, 2025.
The expanded space will allow The Tucson Gallery to host larger community art events, highlight more Tucson artists, and offer new opportunities for education, creativity, and cultural connection. This new space will have more gifts and souvenirs and it will also all have visitor experiences unlike anything seen ever before.
