The Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance maintains one of the lowest booth fees in the region for the size and scale of our festivals.  SAACA presents over 15 annual fine art and craft, music and cultural festivals throughout the Southern Arizona region.  Our organization specializes in partnering with local government and businesses to bring you some of the finest and most well attended festivals in the state.  To protect the integrity of our festivals, we require that all participating artists have handmade all artwork displayed in their booth space.  There is no reselling of commercial produced or second hand art at any SAACA festival.
