    logo_svacSedona AZ (April 2, 2015) – The Melting Point, a glass gallery and working studio in Sedona will present a special, members-only tour for the April meeting of the Sedona Visual Artists’ Coalition at 6 pm on Thursday, April 16. The Melting Point is located at 1449 State Route 89A, Suite 1 in Sedona, across from the Whole Foods Market.

    The approximately two-hour tour will give members a peek into the workings of a unique enterprise, a gallery as well as a multi-dimensional experience for glass art lovers.“This is our second special tour for a group in the six months we’ve been open,” says Hank Schwartz, gallery/studio manager. “The 1,200-square-foot gallery/studio is an interactive experience, divided into three different functional areas, Main Gallery, Hot Shop, and Torch Studio,” says Schwartz. Visitors can purchase glass art from a wide array of pieces in the Main Gallery as well as watch guest artists working or take a class in creating a piece of glass art. ­­­­

    20150402_The-Melting-PointThe Melting Point opened in September, 2014 and represents approximately 50 glass artists creating sculpture, jewelry, wall hangings, goblets and kinetic pieces. Artists from across the country teach classes and work on-site. The Hot Shop, where the precision sculpting work is done, is fired up to around 2000 degrees. Observation of artists-at-work is possible through an 11’x5’ plate-glass window and questions are encouraged via a two-way communication system.  The Torch Studio, where smaller pieces are created, provides individual work stations where up to 12 students at a time can get individualized instruction in creating glass hearts or flowers in as little as 45 minutes. Besides workshops with visiting glass artists from around the world there are two to three-day events offered each month for hot-glass sandcasting, beads and masks, buttons, and jewelry.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
