Red Rock Canvas: The Event

EXPERIENCE A MULTI-FACETED
CANVAS OF INSPIRATION

 
Sedona Gallery Association’s (SGA) second annual "Red Rock Canvas," November 6 – 8, promises to be another stunning event! Sedona has long been a beacon to both artist and collector and this singular event celebrates the arts and culture of Sedona like never before.
 
Beginning with our monthly 1st Friday Gallery Tour, Sedona comes alive with artist receptions. This year the event expands to include an exciting Fine Art silent auction – held at each member gallery - representing styles and price ranges for all, stimulating artist dialogues, demonstrations and other surprises happening throughout the weekend.
 
Visit the Red Rock Canvas website for complete auction item details or to receive a full-color printed catalogue to make planning your bids easy. Once again, the SGA is honored to support Camp Soaring Eagle as our recipient of the silent auction proceeds.
Last year’s inaugural Gala event saw a ballroom aglow with artwork and art lovers as Camp Soaring Eagle's spokesperson and special guest, actress, artist and writer, Jane Seymour spoke of her passion for the camp and founder Max James shared his emotional story of why he is building the camp here in Sedona.
 
Over $25,000 made up the charitable portion of last year’s event proceeds and there are high hopes for this year as well.
 
Red Rock Canvas: The Event promises new excitement every year with this year’s city-wide silent auction following up last year’s successful gala auction which saw good natured neighbors bidding against one another; professional auctioneer Christine Sullivan created entertaining urgency to the proceedings while volunteers scrambled to keep track of all the paddles flying in the air.
 
The Sedona Gallery Association represents the preeminent galleries in this most unique arts destination city. Featuring 15 fine art galleries, art lovers who arrive in wonder at the area’s beauty will find themselves surrounded by these equally stunning art galleries. Red Rock Canvas: The Event draws upon the best Sedona has to offer.

On the weekend of November 6-8, 2009 at this year's Red Rock Canvas, silent bids were made at all the SGA member galleries, via excitement in the galleries and by phone and email. We were happy to once again support Camp Soaring Eagle with the winning bids, we'd like to thank all the collectors for their participation and to all the artists that donated their work, we are indebted to your creativity and generosity. We look forward to an engaging 3rd annual event in November 2010.

The Sedona Art Exchange

 

The Sedona Gallery Association (SGA), comprised of 15 of the finest art galleries in Sedona, Arizona, is proud to roll out an economic stimulus program called “The Sedona Art Exchange.” This exciting and unique program is designed to stimulate the economics of the art industry in Sedona, and serve as a roll-model for the art industry across the United States.

“The Sedona Art Exchange” is designed to keep Fine Art alive and will specifically assist working professional artists; art lovers; gift givers; cities, counties and states; and, those less fortunate who are in need of economic assistance.

The program is simple: Any art lover or member of the public can visit any participating SGA member gallery to trade in a work of art they no longer desire, or that they simply wish to trade in to assist the less fortunate; in exchange they will receive a Cash Certificate which provides a $250 credit on the purchase of any artwork in excess of $1,000 or a $500 credit toward the purchase of any artwork in excess of $3,000, at any participating SGA gallery.

Artists participating in the Sedona Art Exchange

By using “The Sedona Art Exchange” Cash Certificates buyers save substantially as they continue to support the arts; the artists whose new work is purchased receive monetary economic benefit, allowing them to continue creating art; our city, county and state benefit from the collection of sales tax dollars; and, the art works traded in for cash certificates are donated to three very important charities: The Verde Valley Sanctuary, whose work provides emergency shelter and supportive services, community outreach and education; The Sedona Community Center, offering “Meals on Wheels” and support services to seniors; and, Old Town Mission, offering assistance to poverty-stricken people of all ages, races and religions; allowing each charity to raise revenue or provide original artwork to individuals who may otherwise not have that opportunity. The further wish of the SGA is that “The Sedona Art Exchange” will serve as a model throughout the art industry beginning a nationwide art industry economic stimulus, inspiring arts organizations to adopt similar programs, thereby raising revenue for artists, galleries, cities and states across the country as those individuals in the harshest need continue to benefit.

“The Sedona Art Exchange” will begin in 2010. We will keep you posted on the launch date.
