The 35th annual Sedona Arts Festival will run Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 10 and 11, featuring artists, live entertainment.
Held on the campus of Sedona Red Rock High School, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road in West Sedona, the fine art festival showcases a lineup of more than 100 juried artists from across the country. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
The festival will mark its 35th anniversary with artists working in glass, painting, metal, woodworking, photography, ceramics and more.
In addition to fine art, attendees can access a variety of food truck options, live music and Gourmet Row, which features locally produced kitchen, bath and home items.
Entry fees have been reduced to $5 per person, down from the standard $15 admission. The reduced pricing is made possible by a grant provided by the city of Sedona.
“Reaching our 35th anniversary is a milestone we are deeply proud of, and we wanted to celebrate by making this event more accessible than ever,” Lori Reinhart, Sedona Arts Festival executive director for the past 15 years, said. “Thanks to the generosity of the city of Sedona and this wonderful grant, we’re thrilled to offer a $5 entry fee as a gift back to the community that has supported us for three and a half decades. It’s our way of saying thank you.”
For 35 years, the festival has supported arts education by contributing financially to arts organizations such as Chamber Music Sedona, the Sedona International Film Festival and the Sedona Visual Artists Coalition as well as providing scholarships and grants for area students.
The Sedona Arts Festival is supported by the city of Sedona, Sedona Chamber of Commerce and the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
