SVAC has sponsored many exhibitions since its inception which are open to all SVAC members. Our Annual Fall Themed Exhibition is designed to push the artistic creative process and is a much anticipated event within the Sedona community. Some past show themes include: “Music of the Earth”, “Who Am I?”, “Unbounded…….Breaking Through Barriers Real and Imagined”, “Beneath the Surface” and “Blue”. Past exhibitions include, two “Book Transformed” shows and two “Sustainable Visions”, shows at the Sedona Public Library. In 2006 the “Behind Closed Doors” exhibition at the Sedona Arts Center, explored the subject of domestic abuse and recovery. SVAC members participated in “Art in Public Places” events sponsored by the Sedona Arts and Culture Commission and displayed at City Hall. The traveling exhibition, “Embracing time: A Celebration Of Aging” was shown in Flagstaff, Tucson, Phoenix and Sedona. For more information about current and upcoming Exhibitions please visit the Open Studios page or the Fall Show page. |

Monthly meetings are planned to share art work, techniques, opportunities, events and to provide a friendly and inspiring atmosphere for our members. Meetings consist of a brief business segment followed by a 45 minute – 1 hour presentation on a topic of interest to the general membership. There is also time to socialize and make new friends. Two Annual Open Studios Tours (Spring and Fall) provide an opportunity for SVAC Artists to open the doors to their studios to the general public. This event has grown from 29 artists in 2013 to 65 participating artists in the Fall of 2017. It has been designated a Signature Event by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and is attended by people from throughout the state and country. The Annual themed Fall Show held at the Sedona Arts Center provides an opportunity for artists to creatively interpret a thought provoking or creative idea and share their art work with the public. The Scholarship Giving Program was initiated to offer an annual scholarship to a graduating high school senior interested in pursuing a higher education in the arts. Some past SVAC activities include: Designing collaborative sculptures in the West Sedona Park, painting an “art car” for the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Parade, representing artists on the Sedona Arts and Culture Commission, presenting candidates for the Arts Forum to Sedona’s City Council and initiating and writing art columns in local newspapers. |
