Feminine Mystique Art Gallery

FEMININE  MYSTIQUE  ART  GALLERY

Founder:  Pat Aguilar

The Feminine Mystique Art Gallery opened in 1998.  Founder, Pat Aguilar, has been a potter for thirty plus years and has promoted women’s issues since the mid-1960’s.  Betty Friedan wrote a wonderfully inspiring book in 1963, The Feminine Mystique,  which had a profound effect on Pat’s vision for herself and other women.   At 14, Pat realized there was a whole world of opportunities out there.  The prospect of having a career and family was a very hopeful thought.                                                                  

 Growing up in the Military afforded Pat a chance to meet people from all walks of life and to appreciate a non-prejudiced atmosphere.  It was inevitable that Pat would join the fight for equal opportunities for the races, genders and faith-based people.

The Feminine Mystique Art Gallery was born from Pat’s involvement in the National Organization for Women (NOW) and other women’s conscience-raising groups.  Pat found a need to assist other female artists in displaying their work.  The Feminine Mystique Art Gallery represents over 80 artists.  The gallery displays art from the novice to the seasoned professional.  Every medium is shown:  pottery, paintings, wood, fabric, and more.  Each month a new artist is featured and will be present at the gallery to meet and greet customers and artlovers.

The Feminine Mystique Art Gallery is set up in a unique way.  With so many artists to accommodate, the gallery is packed full.  It takes a little time to see everything, but we feel it is worth it.  The customer will see not only different mediums, but also very innovative and inspiring pieces of art.

The sales staff at the Feminine Mystique Art Gallery are friendly and informal ladies.  If the gallery does not have what you need, the staff will try very much to direct you elsewhere in town.

Tubac is a wonderful place to shop, eat and be entertained.  Do not miss it on your travels to Southern Arizona.
