Red Rock Canvas: The Event

SGA CELEBRATES SUCCESS OF
1st ANNUAL RED ROCK CANVAS
 
Sedona Gallery Association’s (SGA) first annual "Red Rock Canvas", November 7 – 9, was a stunning event and plans are in progress for an even bigger event in 2009. The galleries were alive with excitement at the 1st Friday opening as each member gallery presented their own interpretation of "Red Rock Canvas". Saturday included a number of artist presentations as the SGA continued the celebration of the unique collection that has put our local gallery scene at the top of the list for serious art collectors.

John Waddell and Jane Seymour dancing!
 
Saturday evening, the ticketed gala held at Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa was a lively and festive affair. The ballroom was aglow with beautiful artwork and a room full of art lovers with a heart for the charities designated to receive a portion of the Sedona Gallery Association's sales for the evening, Camp Soaring Eagle and Human Nature Dance Theatre. The 1st annual “Red Rock Canvas” honoree, John Waddell gave a dramatic speech followed by a surprise dance with Camp Soaring Eagle's spokesperson and special guest, actress, artist and writer, Jane Seymour. After Ms. Seymour spoke of her passion for Camp Soaring Eagle, founder Max James shared his emotional story of why he is building the camp here in Sedona.
 
Jane Seymour Auction
The art auction featured an eclectic selection of works reflecting the variety of styles and mediums available in Sedona’s finest galleries. Auction excitement built as good natured neighbors bid against one another and professional auctioneer Christine Sullivan created an entertaining urgency to the proceedings. Volunteers scrambled to keep track of all the paddles flying in the air as art was sold and the auctioneer let the hammer fall.
 
Out of the proceeds there was a charitable portion of over $25,000 donated to the beneficiaries by the Sedona Gallery Association. It was truly a gala event and the talk at the end of the evening was anticipation of next year's "Red Rock Canvas" scheduled for the weekend of November 6-8th.
