Kicking off the 30th Celebration of Fine Art

Few days before the The Celebration of Fine Art kicks off, artists have been busy building their own customized studio for the next 10 exhilarating weeks of this NEW DECADE! It is very exciting to see the planning of set up and display of art works and also making arrangements to temporarily live in the Scottsdale area during the show. Ryan Schmidt is one of the new artists to debut at the 30th annual Celebration of Fine Art.

Thirty years ago, as Susan Potje (Co-Owner and Director of the show) expressed, "this started as a dream of a new way for people to experience art. A new way for artists to showcase and sell their art. A new way for collectors to find their art and add to their collection. A new way for all of us to Celebrate Art."

The show opened in the heart of Scottsdale under the canopy of their signature "big white tents" with 100 artists. While much has changed over the course of 30 years, what hasn't changed is the spirit of connection and the passion that fills the tent for ten weeks.

The Celebration of Fine Art kicks off at the Spectacular Sneak Preview this Friday, January 17, 2020 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM as it welcomes the 100 acclaimed and renowned artists from throughout the country. The show will be open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM beginning January 18 through March 29, 2020 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

See you there!
