SHEMER ARIZONA ARTS FESTIVAL

10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Make plans now to attend one of Arizona's premiere arts festivals, held since 1998 at one of the most historic sites in Phoenix.... the Shemer Arizona Arts Festival!

Since its inception in 1984 the Shemer Art Center has held an annual arts festival to showcase Arizona artists, officially referred to as Sunday @ Shemer.  This event has always been held on a Sunday and it has always served as the annual fundraiser for the Shemer Art Center.  This year, the Shemer Art Center is pleased to announce that this event will become a two-day event called the SHEMER ARIZONA ARTS FESTIVAL! 

This new event will feature two full days of art activities just in time to kick-off holiday shopping!  Artists from all across Arizona will feature one-of-a-kind works of art, plus there will be demonstrating artists (glass blowing, blacksmithing, pottery wheel-throwing, raku and more), live entertainment, a children's interactive $5 Kids Zone with arts activities and a free t-shirt, sculpture garden tours, live music, food & beverage vendors, a silent auction AND an evening artist reception on Saturday!    Admission to this year’s Shemer Arizona Arts Festival, scheduled from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. will be FREE!

"Since 1994 the Shemer Art Center has supported and showcased Arizona artists," said Shonna James, executive director.  "The format of this two-day event will give us the opportunity to better showcase artists from across the state, and further display the talented artists we have in Arizona.  Plus the free admission will allow even more families to attend the event, which is also being held in partnership with, as a stop on the Camelback Studio Tour the same weekend," she said.  

A private Saturday evening artist reception is also being planned, so be sure to watch our website for additional information: www.shemerartcenter.org or call (602) 262-4727.
