For over 70 consecutive days from January to March, local residents and visitors to Arizona have the opportunity to appreciate the creations of more than 100 world-class artists at the Arizona Fine Art Expo, featuring many talented individuals from the local area and Southwest.

Attendees can not only admire stunning art pieces such as oils, glass works, stone carvings, metal art, jewelry, and ceramics but also participate in workshops, demonstrations, wine tastings, entertainment, and other engaging events throughout the exhibition. Past events have included lively cocktail parties and community-oriented activities.

Many artists work on their creations live, allowing visitors to witness their artistic process. Observing sculptors at work can be a memorable experience, as it may take them the entire length of the event to complete their masterpieces. Please remember to ask for permission if you wish to photograph any art or artists.

The ideal time to explore the Arizona Fine Art Expo is likely on weekdays during the afternoon when the crowds are lighter. Weekends tend to draw larger audiences, making the aisles busier. Fortunately, most exhibitors are located inside sturdy large tents, so weather concerns are minimal.

Only the two-acre sculpture garden, situated at the center of the tents, is outdoors. This tranquil space features over 100 life-sized bronze and mixed media sculptures. Visitors can also observe working areas where artists create unique pieces, such as glass blowing, Raku firing, welding metal art, or stone carving.
