    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???

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
