Folk Arts 2017

Jim Griffith’s advice on experiencing TMY Folk Arts:

What I like to do is take a general look-around to see who’s doing what and where, and then zero in on a few choices so as to learn more. Our invited demonstrators are gregarious folks, and will be happy and proud to discuss not only the ‘whats’ of their art forms, but the even more fascinating ‘whys’. That’s what TMY is all about, after all: getting to know and better understand the marvelous diversity of the folks we share this place with!”

How to Experience Folk Arts

You can experience visual folk arts all along CHURCH STREET on  Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 6pm (some artists will remain open during night hours)

  • Church Street will feature Yaqui and O’odham pavilions of artists;
  • An eclectic assortment of artists from many traditions are also present on Church Street;
  • Although some artists will have items for sale, all are prepared to demonstrate and discuss what they do.
