About Buzz
Buzz is more than just a TV show. It’s also an interactive Web site and classroom resource with uniquely Arizona educational materials that help teachers meet new Arizona arts standards. Discussions for the concept showcasing Arizona’s emerging arts scene began more than a year ago, eventually involving more than 20 community organizations.
We hope to bring Buzz to you on a weekly basis. Take a moment and Tell Us What You Think.
It takes a village to bring Buzz to you!
