Fine Art Gallery Application

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2018

Event Summary

You are invited to apply for entry to the Sedona Arts Festival’s Fine Art Gallery.

The Fine Art Gallery is an opportunity for artists to participate in the Sedona Arts Festival without the expense of a full booth.  The Sedona Arts Festival is one of the longest running in the Southwest, attracting artists from across the nation.  Celebrating its 28th year, it has become a premiere destination arts festival, known for the quality of art and first class treatment of both its artists and its guests.

Proceeds from the Sedona Arts Festival, and the Fine Art Gallery specifically, are returned to the community through scholarships and art education grants.  The Sedona Arts Festival, a non-profit entity, promotes awareness of the arts, supports artists, and builds community in the greater Sedona area. We financially support art programs and provide financial scholarships for our youth.

The Fine Art Gallery is a new featured area of the festival.  Under one large tent, artist pieces will be displayed with professional presentation and lighting provided by the Sedona Arts Festival.  SAF staff will manage sales with a portion of sales benefitting the Sedona Arts Festival giving programs.  Artists will be paid their portion of sales promptly after the festival.

We are specifically encouraging Sedona-based and regional artists to participate in the Fine Art Gallery.  This offers the artist an opportunity to participate in Sedona’s oldest and largest premiere arts event if a full-booth presentation is not needed by the artist.
