In 2024, the Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block (TMA) celebrates 100 years since its founding. The museum marks this milestone of exhibitions, collections, and programs by looking at the relationship of art to time in Time Travelers: Foundations, Transformations, and Expansions at the Centennial.

This exhibition presents original contexts and offers new interpretations of significant artworks collected by the museum over the past century, reconsidering their complex relationships to the past, present, and future.

The Contemporary Art collection is comprised of more than 1,800 works of art from 1970 to the present.  It is one of the museum’s most diverse collecting areas regarding artists, perspectives, and media – including paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, installations, videos, and crafts.

The collection features works by BIPOC and women-identifying artists from the United States and around the world. This diverse array of artists and artworks offers global perspectives while highlighting contemporary art relevant to the American Southwest.
