    logo_sedonaartmuseumSedona AZ (December 11, 2014) – The Board of Trustees of the Sedona Art Museum is pleased to announce that award winning architect Sedona’s own Howard Madole has designed the proposed museum.

    Howard Madole is acknowledged as Sedona’s first architect and an award-winning master of mid-20th century modern architecture in Arizona.

    Mr. Madole came to Sedona in 1948 to help his parents develop 10 acres of land. He was involved with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West where he helped to build the Usonian design structure there. He went on to pioneer his own style with signature elements, including the use of native shist stone, wood 2x4s on edge for roofing materials, flared roof lines, unusual pitched and shaped structures, and fireplaces that penetrated large glass walls.

Several of his signature homes survive in Sedona, and four have been designated Sedona Historic Landmarks. His work is recognized and followed by mid-20th century modern architecture aficionados.

    The proposed Sedona Art Museum will be environmentally conscious with solar cells, hempcrete construction and LED lighting. Cost to build is estimated at $750,000.

      We have so many wonderful artists who have lived and worked in Sedona and the Verde Valley! It will be a dream realized to have a permanent home in which to preserve and showcase their work!

      Smaller cities have art museums. Sedona deserves one! Sedona will be on the map again as a destination to see world class art!

      Let’s do this!

      What the h…. are these people thinking??? This is NOT Sedona. Cubism does not belong in Sedona. This might fit it well in Phoenix where the surroundings are blanketed by smog but a three story windowless block of a building does not fit into the natural beauty that is Sedona. Every home or business surrounding this monstrosity would suddenly lose value due to the blocked views. Whatever happened to the City’s ordinances restricting height, color and requirements that it blend into the surrounding environment?

      This is a joke, right???

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
