First Thursday of every month 5–8 p.m.
Pay-What-You-Wish Admission
On the first Thursday of every month the Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block offers extended hours and pay-what-you-wish admission from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. First Thursday is designed to complement and enhance TMA’s exhibitions and permanent collection while reflecting the diversity of the community, making art accessible to all. With the goal of expanding audiences, programs encourage community members to “come for the activities and experiences but stay for the art.” Programs include guest artists, live music, performances, art-making, unique opportunities to explore the galleries, and a cash bar serving beer and wine. Each evening also features partnerships with local organizations including support for emerging and established food vendors throughout Arizona to offer pop-ups and encourage guests to support local business and foodie creatives.
First Thursday is presented by an anonymous donor. This program was funded in part by Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona with funding from The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 through the City of Tucson.
