Your Benefits
Monthly Meetings
PaperWorks meets on the first Thursday of the month from 10am-12pm at St. Francis in the Foothills Church’s Celebration Room (4625 E River, NW Corner River & Swan) from September through May. Our programs feature special art focused presentations given by invited artists who share their inspirations, creative processes, and work. These meetings also provide a chance for members to socialize with other artist members, all of which fosters our inspirations, creative practices, and exchange of ideas. Programs Tab

Education
Member-only Workshops, Demos, Pop-up classes, On-line classes, and more are conducted by both our own members and also by nationally known paper, book and multi-media artists throughout the year. Members gain inspiration and learn new techniques to use in their own art practices, and refresh their creativity. Education tab
Publications
PaperWorks publishes a monthly E-news newsletter to announce current events, activities and opportunities.
Special Events
Members-only juried and non-juried group exhibits are hosted annually at many well-known galleries and other venues in and near the Tucson area. Art challenge exchanges, swap & sell “de-stash” events, art celebrations, and local artist studio tours are some of the other special events members enjoy.
Creative Meetups
Meetups are groups of members who meet outside of PaperWorks monthly gatherings to pursue and share a common interest. Examples of the different media the groups have focused on are: book arts, collage, painting, digital media, papermaking, stitching, bookbinding and sketching Meetups are sometimes held at public places or at member's homes. Learn more about these groups by clicking on the Creative Meetups tab at the top of the PaperWorks webpage.
