Open Studio Tours with Arts Foundation of Tucson & Southern AZ
GUEST ARTIST: Libby Rooney
A poet, author, artist, and woman. Born and raised in the western USA. Her resume includes archaeologist, B&B manager, turkey farmer, mother, kibbutznik, and sexual assault advocate. Her art reflects expectations passed down through the “DNA” of family, culture, and belief systems. She works in mixed-media collage, pen and ink, discarded and found objects, altered playing cards, and Goodwill treasures.
Expect a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with seating and snacks. Relax and bird watch in the lovely backyard filled with flora and fauna. If you are lucky, you will get to meet our resident Sonoran desert tortoise, Eartha.
If you are feeling inspired, feel free to create something of your own at the art and craft table on our kid friendly porch. We will supply materials for you..

More About 2026 OPEN STUDIO TOURS
Open Studio Tours (OST) is one of the largest self-guided showcases of artist studios and creative work spaces in the region running for over 10 years. Throughout its history, OST has allowed Tucson and Pima County’s artists to invite visitors into their studios, free-of-charge, so they can directly engage with the working artists, see where art is created, and learn more about their artistic processes.
Immerse yourself in the rich cultural scene of Tucson and Pima County for the 2026Open Studio Tours, presented by the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona.
