Our very own instructor Jill Bauman is the "Artist Guest of Honor" at this year's TusCon, the 48th annual Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror Convention in Tucson!! This is a huge honor!!
TusCon is an annual science fiction convention sponsored by the Baja Arizona Science Fiction Association (BASFA), a Southern Arizona section 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. The primary focus of TusCon is science fiction, fantasy, and horror, but we also pay attention to art, animation, science, media, and gaming.
Attendees of TusCon are among the most dedicated fans of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, and many attendees are professional writers, film producers, artists, and reporters who keep others informed about the goings-on in the industry.
