David Aguirre, executive director of Dinnerware Gallery, and Myles Stone, co-founder of Borderlands Brewing Company, discuss their dream of an "arts triangle" centered in the warehouse district.
In Tucson over the past decade, the arts community and the city center have frequently worked together, albeit informally.
Now David Aguirre, executive director of the Dinnerware Gallery, and Myles Stone, co-founder of Borderlands Brewery, want to seriously develop a new partnership of arts and culture in the area between Congress and Sixth. They're planning a symposium where Tucson's downtown artists can come together to exchange and evaluate ideas. And in particular, one idea: the formation of a collective of artists' collectives in the warehouse Aguirre and Stone share.
The new 16,000-square-foot space will include the brewery and gallery along with a full-fledged art center serving adults and youth. The syposium will help artists to develop direction for the "arts triangle" they envision incubating in the warehouse district.
