Celebration of Fine Art

For 16 years the Celebration of Fine Art has been allowing visitors to watch art developing. This compelling attraction features 100 artists who set up working studios in the big white tents on Scottsdale Rd., just south of the Loop 101. You can observe the creative process. Ceramics, jewelry, painting, sculpture, photography, mosaic and glass, all types of mediums in all styles from Southwest realism to Contemporary abstract can be found at the Celebration of Fine Art. The atmosphere is charged with the process and the spirit of creation. In this informal and relaxed atmosphere you can feel free to ask questions. These artists will be pleased to engage in conversations with you about their art, helping you to learn about their creative process.

The unique and engaging annual event will begin its 16th consecutive season, opening January 14th and running through March 26th, 2006. The Celebration of Fine Art is open every day from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, allowing visitors lots of opportunities to enjoy this experience. It takes time to see over 100 artists and spend the time enjoying the vast selection of artwork they create. Since we understand that one trip might leave you wanting more, we provide a season pass with each paid admission ($7.00, $6.00 Seniors & Military) so you can visit as often as you desire without paying again. There is no charge for children under 12.

The Celebration of Fine Art is located on the Southeast corner of Scottsdale Rd. and the Loop 101 freeway in North Scottsdale. Look for the big white tents and sculpture courtyard. There is lots of free parking and a cafe for light snacks or lunch. For additional information call 480.443.7695 or visit www.celebrateart.com.
