Art History Talk–Framing the Self:
A Cultural History of Portraiture
with Brandelyn Andres
August 2, 2025 – 11am-12pm

Through an examination of both self-portraits and depictions of others, this lecture charts the art historical evolution of the genre of portraiture. By examining artists’ intentions, social contexts, and visual choices, we will consider how images of people not only reflect concepts of self but also shape collective understandings of identity, status, and humanity. We can learn much about ourselves as we look into the eyes of others.

Brandelyn Andres is a professor of art history at Yavapai College located in Prescott, Arizona where she teaches courses on art history, art appreciation, two-dimensional design, and popular culture.

Sedona Arts Center — ACTION ALERT – Protect Arts Funding

As you know, the funding arts organizations and artists receive from the Arizona Commission on the Arts is something we have to fight for at the Arizona Legislature every year. We need your help to keep funding intact in the FY2026 state budget.

Specifically, we need you to contact your legislator and Governor Hobbs TODAY.

If you are a leader of an arts organization, we also need you to engage your volunteers, board members, donors, audiences and patrons in contacting their state elected officials. Often, their voices as constituents of these elected officials are the most persuasive. Please forward this message to them.

Sedona Arts Center — May News

You may have heard the news about National Endowment for the Arts grants and grant programs being terminated by DOGE recently.

While Sedona Arts Center has not been directly impacted by the current NEA grant terminations, we would be impacted by the elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts through our annual grant from the AZ Commission on the Arts. The entire field of arts and culture would be significantly impacted by this loss – be it research to the field, the millions of lives improved through participation in the arts, or the millions of jobs and the economic impact the arts have on America’s bottom line. The NEA’s funding is critical to us, but they provide our field so much more.

These are interesting times to say the least.  I realize that it is hard to know what is going to happen from one day to the next but we here at Sedona Arts Center are continuing to move forward despite the uncertainty.
 
You see, we have to – because when life is uncertain and people are feeling stressed, they turn to the arts more than ever.
 
The arts heal. The arts calm. The arts focus our minds so that we can be productive.
 
That is what we strive to provide at Sedona Arts Center – whether you are participating in an art workshop or class, perusing our Gallery Shop or one of our Special Exhibitions, or attending an event.  We improve lives. We change lives. And some have told us, we’ve saved their life.
