The Tucson Museum of Art and Southern Arizona Arts & Culture Alliance (SAACA) have made the CRUSH pARTy a much anticipated annual event. Hosted each Fall in the courtyard at the Museum, the party brings together Tucson’s top restaurants, fine art and rare wine.

This year, the CRUSH pARTy taking place on Sunday, November 15, is a completely re-imagined take on its former self. The wine and cuisine will be chosen and crafted around different regional themes, depending on which culinary pavilion you visit.

General admission tickets at $80 per person include all food, wine and libations samplings, as well as access to event activities, and silent auction. VIP Tickets at $150 per person include all benefits of General Admission Tickets, as well as an hour early admission to the event from 11am to 12pm, as well as access to the VIP upgraded lounge experience from 12pm to 3pm.

This event is 21 and over. Proceeds support the Museum’s exhibitions and outreach programs.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
