OPENING RECEPTION THIS FRIDAY at Celebrate Sedona! Friday, August 1, 2025 | 4–6pm
In the Special Exhibitions Gallery and Theater Studio at Sedona Arts Center
15 Art Barn Road, Uptown Sedona
Join us for a vibrant evening of art, music, and community as we kick off our 2025–26 season with Celebrate Sedona and the opening of our newest exhibition, The Face of Time. This juried show features powerful and diverse portraiture from artists across the country—exploring identity, memory, and transformation through the lens of time.
Enjoy live music by Big Daddy D and the Dynamites, tasty bites, beer and wine, and artist demonstrations throughout the evening. We’ll also take this moment to recognize the incredible contributions of our volunteers over the past year—and invite new faces to join us in supporting Sedona Arts Center’s mission.
This free community event is the perfect way to connect with local creatives, discover new art, and experience the energy of the Arts Center in full celebration mode. Bring your friends, enjoy the music, and be inspired by the art!
“Portraiture is one of the most powerful and enduring
subjects in art. It invites an immediate connection and
heightened intimacy with the viewer.
These shared moments have fascinated artists
and audiences for centuries.”
Julie Richard, CEO of Sedona Arts Center
