Quick Draw and auction: Artists duel the clock at our annual Cowboy Christmas party
Event held to benefit the Tubac Center of the Arts will be part of the evening-long food, fun, and festivities
We’re hosting an artist Quick Draw competition as part of our annual Cowboy Christmas party, held in conjunction with the Tubac Territory Gallery.
The events of the day are a way for us to say “thank you” to both our clients and the Tubac community.
About the Quick Draw event and charity auction
Over 20 artists will have only one hour to create a completed work of art for the charity auction to benefit the Tubac Center of the Arts Hi-Art program, which encourages and supports area high school students interested in exploring fine art.
After the allotted time is up, the artists will not be allowed to change their pieces in any way.
Quick Draw is a great way for artists to demonstrate their raw talent: Having a limited amount of time to make a piece creates an exciting kind of art.
Prices for the works will be determined by bids at auction.
Gary Corbett, a professional auctioneer from Colorado, will conduct the sales of the pieces. Gary has been an active auctioneer for 27 years and has personally helped raise millions of dollars for worthy organizations.

Auction is part of evening-long festivities
We have planned a full day of events to not only thank the community for its continued support but also to help raise money to help the Tubac Center of the Arts in their philanthropic effort.
The new Quick Draw auction is part of our Cowboy Christmas holiday celebration. Every year we at Rogoway like to throw a holiday party in conjunction with Tubac Territory Gallery to show how much we appreciate our patrons and the Tubac community.
The schedule of events is as follows:

About the Hi-Art progam at the Tubac Center of the Arts
Hi-Art is a high school art program that encourages and supports students at Sahuarita, Rio Rico and Nogales high schools. The program reaches families that might not otherwise participate in Tubac Center of the Arts events or even visit Tubac.
The students participate in an annual exhibit; learn how to write a resume, an artist statement, photograph and present their work for display; and also have the ability to sell their work during the exhibit.
Awards are presented to the students and the award winners are selected by an outside juror.
