The Sedona Arts Center is hosting multiple exhibitions in their galleries throughout the month of August. In the Historic Art Barn in Uptown, the 2019 Summer Co-op Exhibition and Sale will be showing from Friday, Aug. 2, through Sunday, Aug. 25. 

In the Fine Art Gallery, a volunteer and staff exhibition continues through Monday, Sept. 2. Join artists and art lovers at the Arts Center on Aug. 2, for a plethora of excitement as artists receptions for both shows will be taking place alongside an Ice Cream Social in appreciation of the Arts Center’s volunteer force from 4 to 8 p.m. All receptions are free and open to the public.

There are 29 local and regional artists representing their unique styles and mediums in this highly anticipated member-artist show. 
This is the perfect time to collect a wide range of unique items that are sure to awe and inspire.

“The Member Co-op show is a non-juried showcase of local talent and new works, by artists who are members of the Arts Center,” Executive Director Vince Fazio said. “As we end the summer, both of our buildings are filled with diverse local art for the public to view and enjoy. All of the creative people involved are helping us continue the Arts Center’s 60-year tradition as Sedona’s source of creative energy and activity.”

Both the Staff and Volunteer Exhibition and the Summer Members’ Co-op Exhibition and Sale will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Sedona Arts Center, a 60-year-old arts-education nonprofit provides plenty of free parking and no sales tax on any sales.
