Sedona has long been a beacon to both artist and collector. Surrounded by red rocks so magnificent, so stunningly breathtaking, that artists and those who appreciate true beauty have found themselves drawn here.

For three days this November, the 6th, 7th & 8th, the arts and culture of Sedona will be celebrated at the 2nd Annual “Red Rock Canvas.”

Sponsored by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and presented by and the Sedona Gallery Association, visual arts will be the heart of “Red Rock Canvas.”

The city comes alive on Friday night with receptions at participating art galleries, a silent auction with proceeds going to Camp Soaring Eagle, stimulating artist dialogues, demonstrations and other surprises throughout the weekend. Art lovers who arrive in wonder at the area’s beauty will find themselves equally surrounded by superior art galleries.

Featuring 15 fine art galleries, the “Red Rock Canvas” event draws upon the best Sedona has to offer. This will be an art event like none other – everywhere you look.
