Dear Friends,
I was scrolling through social media this morning when a quote caught my eye, embroidered on a coat someone was selling: “Art is the triumph over chaos.” Art doesn’t just cut through chaos—it soothes our souls. We turn to the arts to make sense of the world. We always have, and we always will.
That has been our focus this year, paired with a deliberate commitment to spark joy wherever possible. And that is what we wish for you this holiday season: an unfettered sense of joy and far less chaos.
Please join us for the opening of our Holiday Market with Celebrate Sedona on December 5 from 4–6 PM, featuring holiday treats and music by DJ Shondra.
The Holiday Market continues on December 6 from 10 AM–4 PM and December 7 from 11 AM–3 PM, with more than 40 artists and fine craftspeople offering their unique creations—perfect for holiday gifting.
Then, on December 12, we open Kindled: The Reitz Studio Legacy Exhibition, showcasing work by Don Reitz and the artists who worked alongside him as studio assistants during his years at his Arizona ranch. This exhibition will run through January 23.
Also, in celebration of the holiday season, we’re offering a special Gallery Shop discount starting on Black Friday. Enjoy 10% off all purchases over $100, and 15% off if you are a donor to the Arts Center. Exclusions apply.
Please know how grateful we are for all of you who support us through your donations and purchases throughout the year. We wouldn’t be here without you.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season, and I hope to see you soon.
Warmly,
Julie A. Richard
CEO
