Charlotte, NC – The ART Conference Committee announced today that Esperanza of Tucson, Arizona, has been selected as the beneficiary of the 2026 ART Conference Community Service Project. This marks ART’s eleventh community service initiative in a conference host city. The 2026 ART Conference will be held May 13–15, 2026, at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona.
For more than 35 years, Esperanza has served homeless veterans and their families, providing a pathway from crisis to stability through comprehensive housing and supportive services on its 14-acre campus. Esperanza’s mission is to honor those who served by helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose, supported through partnerships with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the City of Tucson, and other community organizations..
As part of the service project, conference volunteers will work on-site at the Esperanza campus to refresh existing living quarters and outdoor common areas. Home furnishings industry companies will also be invited to donate furnishings to enhance apartments and replace damaged items.
Additional information, including conference registration, the full schedule, and details on participating in the community service project, is available on the conference website. Video recaps and highlights from past ART community service projects may also be viewed online.
