Starting this week, a new community arts and maker space will open in the Tucson Mall.
Catalyst Collaborative Arts and Maker Space is the 14,000-square-foot arts center the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance designed for creativity and collaboration.
It opens Tuesday evening, Dec. 3 on the lower level of the Tucson Mall, 4500 N. Oracle Road. (Check out a story #ThisIsTucson’s Angela Pittenger wrote earlier this year about the rise of engaging experiences in malls). Kate Marquez, executive director of SAACA, hopes Catalyst sparks other maker-friendly projects in the mall.
