    From Oct. 9-10, Sedona’s oldest and largest premier arts event will feature nationally acclaimed artists and a new beer and wine garden

    Sedona Arts FestivalSedona AZ (August 11, 2021) – Held against the backdrop of Sedona’s breathtaking red rock vistas, the Sedona Arts Festival will present its 30th annual fine art festival on Saturday, Oct. 9 and Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021. Attracting artists from across the country, this renowned festival will showcase a diverse line-up of over 100 juried artists, as well as live music, raffle prizes, food, and the newly added beer and wine garden . The Sedona Arts Festival is held on the campus of Sedona Red Rock High School, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road in West Sedona, with ample parking and transportation right to the front gate.

    20210811_SAF-potteryAfter a cancellation in 2020 due to the pandemic, the Festival is looking forward to welcoming back award-winning artists from its 2019 show including Michael McKee (Fountain Hills, Ariz., Dry Mediums), Kristin DeSantis (Allenspark, CO, Jewelry), Ceri Jones, (Mesa, AZ, metal), Nora Graf (Camp Verde, AZ, mixed media), Lee Hendrickson (Goodyear, Ariz., photography), Lyle Clift II (Pueblo, Colo., sculpture), and Alex Chitura from Ramona, Calif., the 2019 Overall Best of Show honoree for his incredible hand-carved sculptures from dry hard woods.

    After last year’s hiatus, this year’s event will focus solely on the artists.  “These artists have had a tough year and half.  They have endured the cancellation and rescheduling of dozens of events, which in itself, is hard to keep track of, “said Lori Reinhart, Executive Director of the Sedona Arts Festival for the past 10 years.  “They’ve lost revenue, they’ve forfeited booth fees, and for many professional artists, this is how they make their living.  We’re hoping for a great turn out to welcome our artists back to Sedona and support them with your presence and your purchases.”

    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
