FLAGSTAFF — This special event celebrating local artists will take place just before Valentine’s Day, on Saturday, February 10th from 11am-3pm, and will feature over 15 local artists and artisans displaying and selling their art and artisan crafts. Culture Connection AZ is proud to host a diverse group of artists, including Indigenous and Native American artists, artists from the LGBTQ+ community, Hispanic artists, and more.
During the event, Culture Connection AZ will also be a participant in downtown Flagstaff’s Annual Chocolate Walk and will host a free Valentine-making table for attendees to create their own special Valentine for a loved one. Those new to Flagstaff and those born outside the US are especially encouraged to attend and gain meaningful connections to our community.
The event’s title, A Day of Love and Friendship, comes from the Spanish name for Valentine’s Day: “Día de amor y amistad”. Both the day and the event are intended to celebrate not just romantic love, but love in all its various forms and expressions.
At this event and all of our events we actively encourage participation from new and emerging artists who are looking for a safe and supportive place to share their art publicly. We foster a mentoring mindset by asking our more experienced artists to set up next to first-timers and give them pointers, answer questions, and provide encouragement.
Our event will feature jewelers, painters, fiber artists, mixed media, photographers, glass artists, ceramicists, and more.
