Big Gay Art Show
June 5th – June 28th, 2026
Sedona Arts Center proudly presents our annual, The Big Gay Art Show — a vibrant juried exhibition celebrating creative expression from the rainbow communities and their allies. This much-anticipated show invites artists of all backgrounds, levels, and mediums to share their voice through visual art.
Originally conceptualized in 2012 by a small group of artists and supporters — some connected to Sedona Arts Center and others from the Sedona Pride organization — the show began as a platform to uplift and include the rainbow community in the local arts scene. Since then, it has grown into a beloved annual event, welcoming hundreds of emerging and professional artists to Sedona.
Now produced fully by Sedona Arts Center at the request of Sedona Pride, the exhibition continues to provide a dynamic and positive venue for connection, visibility, and artistic celebration.
Opening Reception: Friday, June 5, 2026 from 4p-6p at Celebrate Sedona.
The Special Exhibition Gallery is Open Daily 12noon–5pm
