Despite the long history of arts in Sedona and the dozens of art galleries, the city does not yet have an art museum. One group of artists plans to change that and has created momentum to make it happen soon.

The Sedona Art Museum, a recently created 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is set to move into a temporary location, or preview museum, at the Old Marketplace in West Sedona.

Property owner John D. Miller has given the Sedona Art Museum Exploratory Committee two months to raise funds and renovate three vacant suites along the central courtyard, according to John Warren Oakes, chairman of the committee and a master signature artist charter member of the Sedona Area Guild of Artists.
