Down In The Canyon.

Sedona, Arizona: How artists create and why is a question explored during the Fourth Annual State of the Art at Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village. The theme this year is “Celebrating Art from Inspiration to Creation” beginning Friday, September 25, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and resumes all day Saturday, September 26, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Designed for the new art collector and the seasoned connoisseur, anyone who appreciates the arts will have a creative awakening getting so close to the sources of inspiration.

Enjoy some close-up and personal time with gifted, world-class artists and cool jazz and blues during the weekend. Everyone is welcome to this ever-popular event. A sumptuous feast of the arts awaits all visitors within the gates of the arts village. Admission is free.

Tlaquepaque’s premier galleries will be highlighting the work of selected artists most of whom are in collections all over the world. “The artists will be on hand to discuss their approach, demonstrate a work in progress, and be available for conversation in an intimate gallery setting. The remarkable line up of artists this year and the enthusiasm of the galleries is very exciting,” remarked Wendy Lippman, general manager of Tlaquepaque.

Youth and Art, a collaborative annual effort to recognize young local talent, will award art students from Sedona Red Rock High School and Mingus High School with $1000 in prize money. Youth and Art is a wonderful partnership between the high school art students, their teachers, and the community of galleries at Tlaquepaque.

“We hope the public will come out, see the student art at the various galleries, talk to the artists and really support these talented young people. And we hope everyone will vote for their favorite artist,” commented Lippman. The two $500 cash awards will be presented to the winners Saturday night at 7 p.m., in Patio las Campanas.
