All across the state poets musicians, painters and actors alike are getting together for a new program designed by the Arizona Commission on the Arts.  It’s called stART.

“stART is Sharing Artists Resources Tour, and it got started because we have a juried roster of teaching artists, and we wanted to showcase them in the best way possible,” said Mandy Buscas, arts learning director.

At workshops in Tucson, stART is informed attendees about subjects, such as teaching arts to children with disabilities, and infusing creative writing in the curricula.

“We actually have pulled in a broad range of people from Tucson.  Tucson is a really great arts community that really comes together and works together,” said Alex Nelson, arts learning coordinator.

Tony Vaccaro, 40, grew up in Long Island, New York. When he started college in Madison, Wisconsin, he realized how much students loved eating pizza and thought it'd make a good business if he ever got the urge to start one. Vaccaro came to Tucson for graduate school in History, but didn't like school as much as he thought he would.

“I love Tucson so I decided to stay, opened a pizza place because I thought the quality of pizza in Tucson was not great,” Vaccaro said. “I know everyone loves pizza, I love pizza so I thought it'd be a good endeavor.”

Vaccaro came up with the base recipe from his grandfather's pizza place in Brooklyn, which was a little inspirational to Vaccaro's “Brooklyn Pizza,” made some adjustments over the first six months and it's stayed the same ever since.

Arizona Stadium holds a number of university legacies including a list of professional athletes who were products of the football program. But another legacy goes unnoticed on game day.

Located underneath the east side of the stadium, the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab can brab about making the largest telescope mirrors ever.

“The Giant Magellan Telescope is the next step,” Buddy Martin, polishing scientist, said. “It'll achieve a 25-meter telescope aperture with seven of these segments and each of the segments is biggest mirror that has ever been made in the world. Astronomers always want to build bigger telescopes. You get two huge advantages from bigger telescopes. One is you're more sensitive because you're collecting more light; you can see fainter objects, but the other thing you get is sharper images. The bigger the telescope, the sharper the image you can get."

Several clubs and groups through out Tucson represent Mexico’s culture. Ballet Folklorico meets twice a week in a studio on Tucson’s south side.

Guerrero Ballesteros, a 16-year-old folklorico dancer, sees his friends and classmates losing touch with their culture. But he isn’t letting that happen to him.

“Every time, when they see kids dancing, next day I receive a lot of calls, hey, my daughter wants to dance, where can I go?” says Baca.
