Arizona\u2019s longest-running art show, the Celebration of Fine Art<\/strong><\/a>, will return to Scottsdale on Saturday, January 16, 2021, for its 31st year with 100 acclaimed and emerging artists from throughout the country. Renowned as the West\u2019s premier art show and working studio, this 10-week-long, world-class event will be open daily through Sunday, March 28 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizable by its signature \u201cbig white tents,\u201d the Celebration of Fine Art offers 40,000-square-feet of open-air space for appropriate distancing, and showcases works of art ranging from realist to impressionistic, Western realism, and abstract to contemporary across all mediums from stone to metal, wood to glass, and canvas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show is also home to the ever-popular Art Discovery Series, a live and interactive event in which guests get to hear about the adventures, stories, and processes that shape art. Artists discuss topics such as metal-working, jewelry making, abstract art, sculpture, and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Celebration of Fine Art is a juried, invitational show that has come to be recognized for its diverse array of exceptional art, but more importantly for its inviting and interactive atmosphere that encourages connection between art lovers and artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s because of this atmosphere and the ability to interact with artists and learn about their process that the Celebration of Fine Art has become a true destination for art lovers from all backgrounds. In fact, over the course of its 31-year legacy, the show has welcomed more than 1.5 million visitors from around the world, many of whom have made the show an annual tradition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of our 30-year history, the Celebration of Fine Art has remained a place for artists and art lovers to connect in a meaningful way.

Though this year we\u2019ll have measures in place for distancing to protect the health and safety of our artists and guests, the Celebration of Fine Art will continue to be a place where people from all walks of life can engage with artists and see their work come to life in front of their eyes.

We\u2019re looking forward to what 2021 has in store and can\u2019t wait to showcase the talents of the amazing artists we have at the show this year.<\/p>

Throughout the 10 weeks, guests can also catch artist demonstrations of their process, attend an Art Discovery Series, which is held each Friday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., walk the outdoor sculpture garden, which features nearly 100 pieces of life-sized and monumental sculpture, and enjoy lunch or wine in the cafe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
