The Sedona Plein Air Festival takes place during the best weather period of the year at the height of tourist season and is supported by a group of very experienced and enthusiastic staff and volunteers. Sedona is a sublime environment with stunning beauty, and the Sedona Arts Center has roots going back 67+ years to the founding of Sedona.
As one of oldest continuously running Plein Air Festivals in the western US, we are planning special events in keeping with that longevity.
***Please NOTE that this year’s Festival is almost entirely by invitation. We will have a few slots for juried in artists.
