Tucson, AZ - August 9, 2025- Local artist Theresa Poalucci has been selected for inclusion in the prestigious "Meet the Artists" initiative by Homiens, an international arts organization dedicated to promoting exceptional contemporary artists worldwide.

One of the newest members to SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild is Katherine Evans. Evans and her husband found SaddleBrooke in the way that many do. They were traveling all over, looking for places to consider retiring in. They visited some friends that were already here, came over the ridge on SaddleBrooke Blvd., saw the mountains, and the rest was history! Along with the views, they loved the golf courses, the activities available, and they felt that the people in the community were very welcoming.
Recently retiring in June, and arriving to SaddleBrooke in September 2023, Katherine has already joined a couple of local clubs, one being the “Knit Wits”, a group which knits baby blankets for foster kids. She also discovered the Art Guild, and has enjoyed participating in the Art Salon discussions, and attending the general meetings, as well.
