Join in the last session of Dave Santillanes’ 3.5-day workshop during the 15th Annual Sedona Plein Air Festival (Oct 12 – 19, 2019).  This half-day demonstration takes you through his studio process as Dave works up a larger painting from a plein air study.  This demonstration will be a wonderful overview of the painting process; a learning experience for collectors and painters alike.  A stand-alone demonstration as well as a culmination of the workshop for attending students. $50 | Registration required

This is it!  Don’t miss the excitement of the Festival’s Grand Finale!  Food and Wine!  Sales and Awards!  Artists have chosen three of their festival works to present in the Special Exhibition Gallery for awards consideration – including $5000 for Best of Show!  The adjacent Theatre Studio will house all the other works that artists have created during the week.  Hors d’oeuvres and wine served. Free and open to the public!

Just one more!  Invited Festival Artists will paint in Uptown Sedona on 89A from the Arts Center to the Sedona Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center on Forest Road.  This is held in collaboration with the City of Sedona and is the last opportunity for visitors and residents to become acquainted with the artists and observe them in action.  Paintings will be lined up for sales and awards at noon in the main parking lot of the Arts Center campus.
