Tucson Meet Yourself is a folklife festival. We present artists and communities that carry on living traditions rooted in a group’s own definition of identity, artistry, and cultural significance. It was founded in 1974 by University of Arizona folklorist and anthropologist Dr. James “Big Jim” Griffith, honored by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2011 as a “National Heritage” treasure. TMY is the signature annual event of the Southwest Folklife Alliance, which helps support, honor, and promote the traditional arts and heritage practices of the region and that compliment the festival year-round. TMY is building a community that respects traditions, culture, diversity and honors the land and environment (“sense of place”) unique to the desert borderlands through ongoing partnerships with organizations in our region dedicated to fostering compassion, integrity, and stewardship of the land and our Southwestern cultural ways.
