Holiday Gifting and Supporting the Arts

The holidays are right around the corner and many have started their shopping with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We all know it’s important to shop locally when possible, but we also encourage shopping artistically.
 
There are thousands of artists currently represented in the city of Sedona, Arizona. Among those thousands, a few local art galleries feature some fantastic art worth gifting. Here are a few of our picks:
