Celebration of Fine Art is one of the West’s premier art shows and working studios. It opens in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Saturday, January 12, with 100 acclaimed and emerging artists selected from throughout the country. The show, where art lovers and artists connect, will be open daily through Sunday, March 24, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nearly three decades ago, Celebration of Fine Art transformed the way people experience art when it debuted in Scottsdale. Now a tradition in Arizona’s art, culture and tourism scene, Celebration of Fine Art hosts 100 of the country’s top artists and sees nearly 50,000 visitors from around the globe on average each year. Celebration of Fine Art takes place in North Scottsdale under the signature “big white tents” and features 40,000 square feet of working artist studios and works of art. It’s a juried, invitational show and has come to be recognized not only for its exceptional art, but also its welcoming experience and interactive atmosphere.

Styles at the show include realism, impressionism, Western realism, abstract and contemporary. The outdoor sculpture garden will return with nearly 100 pieces of life-size and monumental sculptures as well as a shared work space where visitors can see woodturning, welding, kiln firings and bronze pouring demonstrations weekly.

“The Celebration of Fine Art is unique in that it gives guests the rare opportunity to not only discover new mediums, but also connect with artists face-to-face and learn about the story behind their work.”

– Susan Morrow Potje, co-owner and show director, Celebration of Fine Art
