A large variety of art by local artists. A great place to see different kinds of art by new and established artists and a great opportunity for new artists to show their work

Amazing people, out of this world art of all kinds. Always excited to see whats new. Great place to dance in a non alcoholic venue.

Funky Tucson establishment that gives a home to the odd characters that make up our strange and beautiful little town.

One of the last vestiges of real Tucson establishments (holding out against the dry agua nouveau movement) for up and coming artists and musicians...

This is a community oriented gallery with live music.The amazing atmosphere is solely due to the innovative crafting by the curator.I wish every city had a gallery like this one!You need to be there!

It was a great venue to watch our son & his group Tribe 520 perform, no alcohol served so they allowed teens into the show

Stunning crystal ball meditation room. Parking can be difficult though. Go early to park and walk or take an Uber/Lyft.

Wel it was my kids first home so maybe Im biased. Yeah Ive been associated with solar culture for just over 21 years now. Ive watched it grow into a really wonderful community oriented art space and music venue. Super kudos to Steve and Kati for holding it all together and creating a wonderful, inviting.

Very cool little place to hear some live music. Very intimate. Cool to have it supporting the local Arts this way. A lot of art on the wall... I wasnt crazy about all of it but the music was really, really good. Itd be nice if there was a way to allow some beer and wine in there, but I guess its not the end of the world to go without. Will definitely look for other good musical acts to show up there

I didnt even know places like this existed. At night, think a nightclub/art gallery for hippies.I want to set the story for you to best give you an idea what this place is like and what it was like to be me there. I think if I was reading a review in that way, it would give me all I was looking for to make a decision about whether to check it out.Im an aquarius that almost always keeps to himself to maximize time to filmmake, and a very small, carefully selected group of individuals. I rarely go out to social events or places.But this place felt so comfortable, laid back and authentic, and I ACTUALLY enjoyed all the music, which I have never experienced anywhere Ive gone to like this before.Picture a low-lit, dope art gallery that gives way to another, dark room with a performance stage where really talented people play their hearts out until a DJ with excellent taste in mostly EDM takes over.Theres two side rooms (or at least one! I never checked out the other) for more intimate interactions that feel homey, comfortable, and unassuming, INSTEAD of oppressive, and loaded with expectation in which you feel an ambient pressure to be a certain way in them.Theres art everywhere. In the people. In the performers whom you can really feel their heart from. In the social interactions (which I was genuinely caught off guard by).GO. HAVE FUN. BE YOU.

This is the art of the people of Tucson.You dont need to know who is who or have degrees up the wazoo.Just submit your art when Solar Culture requests it. Its open to the public for submissions.

It’s a cute, artsy place in the middle of Tucson that allows you to see the art of local artists around town. Fun place to go if you’re exploring Tucson and would like to get to know the arts scene more, as Tucson has a very influential arts culture

This reporter from SeniorCitizenLocalWeb has visited this experience several times in the last year, it is an unique as it is run by an artistic couple that enjoy their creations and original artwork.The Galley does put on Artist Show Exhibits and you should call them to get dates and times of these. New artist like M. Smith of Tucson are welcome to leave art on consignment or during certain shows, and therefore, as a visitor you may be treated to just about any type of art that can be displayed. The place is not modern, and is more like a warehouse, but it is interesting and you can meet the operators, artist, etc., and learn more about the art and music world from them.Location:31 East Toole Avenue, Tucson, Arizona, 85701
