WAMO was formed in 2004 as an outcome of the Tucson Historic Warehouse Arts District master planning process.
WAMO's mission is to cultivate and manage Tucson's Historic Warehouse Arts District into a center for incubation, production, exhibition, education, and management of the arts, to make a significant contribution to the local and regional economy for the benefit of the public at large.
WAMO continues and develops the work of artists and related individuals who have helped to create Tucson's Historic Warehouse Arts District as an active and varied center and community for the arts, within a downtown community that includes working artists, galleries, museums, nonprofit arts organizations, and supportive retail and residential interests. Primarily through the active management of properties and other resources, including ownership and development of properties, WAMO guides the District so that it continues to foster the arts and the community into a vibrant future.
