School of Fine Art...

TSFA was founded by the late artist/educator Lou Maestas as The Tubac Art Academy. Lou was not only a master artist but also a seasoned art educator. Leslie Miller, one of Lou's many fortunate students, took over the reigns of the school after Lou's death. She then dramatically expanded the school’s vision as she recruited many talented artists and art teachers from around the country to utilize the school in offering their own classes in various media. She expended every effort to build a thriving art eduction environment in Tubac. Leslie has now stepped down from her position in order to spend more time creating her own art. The School, which is associated with the Tubac Center of the Arts, is now directed by Johannes Loutsch who, with his able tech coordinator Diego Diaz, contines the quest to further increase the value the school brings to the Tubac community.
