Sedona AZ (October 1, 2018) – Enjoy the fall evening in Jerome during the October 6th First Saturday Art Walk. Once again, the magical mountain town will be hosting a night filled with art, music and refreshments galore. Art Walk is the only night that galleries are open from 5 to 8pm.

With 25 participating galleries, studios, and sponsoring businesses and restaurants offering specials, this is a festive night in Jerome.
Pura Vida Gallery will host a trunk show for fiber artist Joan Edelstein. Joan has always been captivated by the visual and tactile textures of fiber; in raw form, in fabric form, in constructed, wearable form. She utilizes all types of fabrics and fibers: natural fibers-silks, linens, cottons, synthetic fibers-metallics, rayons, nylons, poly-blends, plastics. Brand new, right-off-the-bolt fabrics, and, the ones she loves best: the pieces she cuts from a skirt she found for $2.00 at the Good Will Store or the trim off her Mom’s jacket that now has moth holes in it. Her current body of work is the creation of mixed fiber collage scarves and wraps each being a one of a kind art piece. Join Pura Vida Gallery for champagne and chocolates on the evening of the Art Walk and see Joan’s newest creations.
