Visit Sedona in November for myriad "Red Rock Canvas" events
For three days this November, the arts and culture of Sedona will be celebrated as never before. “Red Rock Canvas,” a destination event, is a beacon to art lovers, visitors, residents and part-time residents alike.
“Red Rock Canvas” guests can fully customize their Sedona weekend getaway from November 7 through 9, 2008 with art talks and demonstrations, wine tastings, outdoor or spa adventures, and much more as all of Sedona bursts with opportunities.
Sponsored by the City of Sedona and the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and presented by the Sedona Gallery Association, visual arts will be the heart of “Red Rock Canvas.” The city comes alive on Friday night with receptions at participating art galleries, then an exclusive Saturday evening ticketed gala and tribute auction for charity – with art, an array of hors d’ouevres, cocktails and dancing. This year’s “Red Rock Canvas” honoree will be artist John Henry Waddell, a former head of the Art Education Department at Arizona State University. Best known for his stunning bronze sculptures of female nudes, Waddell has been an intrinsic part of the Arizona art world for more than forty years.
Sedona is surrounded by red rocks so magnificent, so stunningly breathtaking, that artists and those who appreciate true beauty have found themselves drawn here. World-class art galleries, award-winning spas and endless possibilities for recreation have evolved to accommodate all.
The inaugural “Red Rock Canvas” event draws upon the best Sedona has to offer. Art lovers who arrive in wonder at the area’s beauty will find themselves equally surrounded by superior art galleries. This will be an art event like none other – everywhere you look. For more information visit: RedRockCanvas.com.
