    Arizona Wine Country Artists Village Returns to Cottonwood November 20–22 A Free, Family-Friendly Fine Art Showcase Where Art Comes to Life COTTONWOOD, Ariz. (October 12, 2026) – The Arizona Wine Country Artists Village returns to Old Town Cottonwood for its final autumn showcase from November 20–22, 2026. The free outdoor fine art and craft fair runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Organized by Jerome-based artists John and Lauri Maeder of PBSW Events, LLC, and hosted by the City of Cottonwood, the November event presents a brand-new weekend for art lovers, holiday shoppers, and wine country visitors to engage directly with premier regional creators. “Where Art Comes to Life” serves as the driving vision for the event, which offers an interactive alternative to traditional retail shopping. Attendees can watch live artistic demonstrations, learn the techniques behind handcrafted works, and purchase one-of-a-kind, investment-quality pieces directly from the makers. Held at the Old Town Activity Park (187 E. Pima Street), the pet- and family-friendly grounds sit just steps from Main Street’s vibrant collection of tasting rooms, local dining, and boutiques within the federally recognized Verde Valley AVA. Highlights for the November 20–22 Showcase: Curated Juried Art: A lineup of top regional artists and craftspeople showcasing original studio works across various mediums. Interactive Community Scavenger Hunt & Raffle: A scavenger hunt featuring donated artist originals, with entries eligible for a $500 cash grand prize drawing. Hands-On Children’s Art Tent: A dedicated creative zone where young visitors can craft their own projects. Established in 2024, the quarterly Artists Village series continues to bolster the local creative economy while celebrating the unique intersection of fine art and wine tourism in Northern Arizona. The fair is held four times each year. For more details regarding the Arizona Wine Country Artists Village, visit the official website at https://artists-village.com.
