Sedona AZ Announces Citywide Art Event |
|
|
|
Sedona, Arizona: a
location surrounded by red rocks so magnificent, so
stunningly breathtaking, that artists and those who
appreciate true beauty have found themselves
irrevocably led here. World-class art galleries
followed, rising to the challenge laid by the
landscape to define beauty within their walls with
local, national and international art. Award-winning
spas emerged and recreation evolved to accommodate
all. Now that more and more visitors, residents and
part-time residents have discovered this radiant gem
a new day is dawning over the edge of the red rocks.
"Red Rock Canvas," a destination event, has been
born. |
|
|
|
For three
days this November the arts and culture of Sedona
will be celebrated as never before. Sponsored by the
City of Sedona and the Sedona Chamber of Commerce
and presented by the Sedona Gallery Association,
visual arts will be the heart of "Red Rock Canvas."
The city comes alive on Friday night with receptions
at SGA art galleries then an exclusive Saturday
evening ticketed gala and tribute auction for
charity - with art, an array of hors d'ouevres,
cocktails and dancing. This year's "Red Rock Canvas"
honoree will be artist John Henry Waddell, a former
head of the Art Education Department at Arizona
State University. Best known for his stunning bronze
sculptures of female nudes, Waddell has been an
intrinsic part of the Arizona art world for more
than forty years. |

spa adventures, and much more as all of Sedona
bursts with opportunities. |

Canvas" draws on the best Sedona
has to offer. Art lovers who
arrive in wonder at the area's
beauty will find themselves
equally surrounded by superior
art galleries. For information

"Artist
to Watch" on September 1-7, 2008
You could be the next big winner. "Art of Gold"
events offer $1000 gift certificates to SGA gallery
customers. For the Sedona Gallery Association it is an
opportunity to give back to art collectors who play
such an important role in supporting its member
galleries. For the entire first week, the 1st - 7th,
Evening in the Galleries art event will be given a
specific theme for each member to interpret in a way
that best represents their art gallery. For that
entire day and evening, every customer who makes a
purchase of $500 or more in any individual member
gallery will be given a ticket for a drawing that will
make them eligible to receive a $1000 gift
certificate, redeemable at any single SGA gallery
within thirty days. |
| The
"Art of Gold" events are facilitated
by the SGA galleries and the selection of
the winning tickets are made the Monday
following each art event by the Sedona
Chamber of Commerce. |
