Held against the backdrop of Sedona’s breathtaking red rock vistas, the Sedona Arts Festival will present its 29th annual fine art festival on Saturday, Oct. 12 and Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019. Attracting artists from across the country, this renowned festival will showcase a diverse line-up of over 100 juried artists, as well as live music, food and art fun for the kids. The Sedona Arts Festival is held on the campus of Sedona Red Rock High School, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road in West Sedona.

This year’s Festival will feature a renewed community partnership with the Sedona Visual Artists’ Coalition (SVAC). As a preview to their fall tour, SVAC will host the Open Studios Preview Exhibit, where Festival attendees will have the perfect opportunity to see fabulous examples of artwork available on the Open Studios Tour. This will allow attendees to determine which studios they would like to visit when the tour takes place on Oct. 25-27.

Members of SVAC include professional and emerging artists in Sedona and the greater Verde Valley who work in both 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional art encompassing many mediums and genres. A major goal of the coalition is to embrace the community by pushing the artistic envelope, thus creating a dialogue between the artists and the public.

In addition to renowned artists and their works, the Sedona Arts Festival will feature entertainment that attendees of all ages will enjoy. The Festival’s newly designed entertainment area is not to be missed. Continuous live music has always been an integral part of the festival each year, and this year’s selection of music and dance is sure to please. The Festival also offers a variety of food truck choices, raffle prizes, locally produced kitchen, bath and home items, and the interactive KidZone, which gives children 12 and under the chance to create their own masterpieces with help from local artists. Attendees are encouraged to bring along a folding chair and spend a relaxing day at the Festival enjoying the amazing art, food and entertainment.

Festival hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13. Beginning August 1, tickets can be purchased online at www.sedonaartsfestival.org for a discounted price of $10. Admission at the gate is $12.
