Sedona Arts Center proudly presents its annual Loving Bowls charity fundraiser in a new way this year. $10 Loving Bowls and special $50 Salad Bowls are available in the Fine Art Gallery on an ongoing basis starting June 5, 2020. Over 1500 bowls will be made and lovingly glazed in a variety of finishes by professional volunteer potters. Proceeds from this ongoing event will go to the Sedona Food Bank, Sedona Community Center, Humane Society of Sedona, Verde Valley Santuary, and educational programs at Sedona Arts Center.

This year the Sedona Plein Air Festival will be a first of its kind – an all woman event. Up to 31 women plein air artists will gather from around the country to celebrate our beautiful and unique landscape through an eight-day painting event. The Sedona Arts Center is celebrating The Year of the Woman as the theme for 2020, the centennial year of the 19th amendment allowing women the right to vote. We believe it is important to recognize women artists in a unique way and to empower women through the arts.

The next Big Gay Art Show will be in 2021! The exhibition supports the LGBT+ community and allies. Though entries are juried, the entry process is free and open to anyone that would like to participate. This event is a much anticipated, well attended exhibition open to all artists in any medium and of any level. For next year, (2021), the exhibition venue and date range has been expanded to accommodate this growth! The show will feature an opening reception on the First Friday July 2, 2021,  5:00- 8:00pm and the exhibition will continue through July 11th in the Theatre Gallery and Special Exhibition Gallery (adjoining rooms) at the Sedona Arts Center.
