Visit Sedona in late October! Breathe the brisk autumn air, bask in the beauty of the fall foliage and escape into the world of art. The 6th Annual Plein Air Festival, hosted by the Sedona Arts Center, will capture your heart and your imagination. For eight days artists, art patrons, art collectors, art lovers and everyone who appreciates fine art will want to be present to participate in the daily activities and events, including everything from free lectures and demonstrations to the Art Lovers Gala & Wine where the body of work created by the artists during Festival Week will be presented for the first time.

The Festival is an homage to the spirit and innovation of the great French Impressionists whose paintings wereŻbased on the belief that 'you should trust your eyes' to capture the beauty that surrounds you. Thirty-two award-winning contemporary plein-air artists from around the country, selected from among the best of the best, have accepted invitations to particpate in this unique artistic showcase. The artists will capturing moments in time that reflect the ever-changing colors, light and shadows, and shifting elements. There is no setting more perfect than Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon in late October to find vibrant, unexpected scenic beauty ~ it is an artists' paradise.

 
The Sedona Arts Center would like to thank the 30 award-winning professional artists who came from around the country for their participation in the 5th Annual Sedona Plein Air Festival (October 23 - November 1, 2009).
