Sedona Plein Air Festival

The 3rd Annual Plein Air Festival was a huge success. Twenty-seven of the finest plein air artists in the country were hosted by the Sedona Arts Center from October 21 – 28. They spent the week transferring the natural beauty of Sedona and Jerome to paper or canvas.

Tourists and locals alike were awed by the incredible talent of the artists and their ability to capture the nuances of the ever-changing light and color in the scenes they chose to paint.

Many of the paintings were purchased by art patrons at “An Evening with the Artists” on Saturday evening. Thanks to our presenting sponsor, L’Auberge de Sedona, it was the premiere event of the year in Sedona.

Music provided by Sedona Jazz on the rocks 2007 Youth Band (www.SedonaJazz.com).
