Perched at the base of Tucson’s iconic Santa Catalina Mountains, The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa is one of Southern Arizona’s most celebrated luxury destinations. With breathtaking panoramic views of the Sonoran Desert and a sweeping, elegantly redesigned property following a multimillion-dollar renovation, La Paloma offers guests an experience that’s equal parts relaxation and wonder.
The resort’s offerings include multiple resort pools with a signature waterslide, a full-service spa, tennis and pickleball courts, a well-appointed fitness center, and multiple dining and bar experiences, including poolside service that guests consistently rave about. The lobby bar and resort common areas make for natural gathering spaces that feel both luxurious and welcoming.
Summer heat shouldn’t mean fewer chances to experience great art. That’s why we’re bringing the festival indoors, transforming the elegant spaces of The Westin La Paloma into a vibrant, dynamic marketplace where Arizona artists shine. Browse and shop original works across painting, ceramics, jewelry, photography, sculpture, glass, fiber arts, mixed media, and more. Meet the makers behind each piece, find something that speaks to you, and discover why Art State Arizona events feel like a community celebration every single time.
The La Paloma Indoor Art Festival is FREE and open to all. Seasoned collectors, first-time art buyers, families, and resort guests. Everyone is welcome.
