Sedona Arts Center

I love this whole area! It’s so fun and beautiful! Definitely stop in and enjoy the art as well! Out of respect I didn’t photograph the inside, most shops don’t like pictures of the art taken, but the environment around with all the shops is so fun and inviting!

In January, my husband and I popped in your shop after finding artwork by a local artist in a restaurant downtown. We were told that the lady working at this establishment would be able to assist us with finding the local artist. Instead, we were met with a woman who was not helpful. When we entered the shop, she was doing her best to show off to another woman by behaving like a stuck up bore. We found her to be rude, condescending, and extremely disrespectful to us and about the local artist who shamelessly had art displayed in a restaurant. She was very curt to us, obviously judging our station in life, based upon an artist who made an emotional connection with me though a piece of hand thrown pottery. Being with the military for 30+ years I have collected pottery from 43 countries. Some pieces were very expensive, some not so much. All have called to me by creating a sense of wonder, invoking a deep emotion or calmness, and a few mark a point in time recreating the exilleration of an adventure or memory with a single glance. I really don't know or care who this woman was. She either has no appreciation of the process of creation or is incapable of seeing a piece of art beyond the dollar sign. The bottom line for me? When you hire personnel, they should be helpful/respectful. This person is the face of your organization. In future trips to Sedona, we will ensure we do not reenter this establishment based on her disdainful attitude.

Such a beautiful collection ❤ Whole environment is so welcoming, there's nothing here that you could doubt about. Friendly personnel, awesome presentation!

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment in receiving my painting back recently. I had a painting in a show that didn't sell. Not an unusual situation and that is not why I'm upset. I live in Colorado so was unable to drop off/pick up my work so I shipped my artwork to them and sent a return label for shipping back. The painting was so poorly packed that the corners are all damaged and dented. There was not enough bubble wrap to secure my painting in the box as well as it just being poorly packed all together. Thankfully the face of the painting was not damaged so I can salvage my artwork. As an arts professional myself, artwork safety during shipping is a priority and it makes me frustrated that the Sedona Arts Center doesn't hold the same high standards as a supposed reputable arts organization. I will not be showing with this business ever again and will also want to warn other artists of my experience.

This is a truly remarkable art center. The art on exhibit in the gallery shop is lovely, world class art. The facility itself is extensive. The classes it offers are unique and interesting. It's location --in upper Sedona, backing up to the creek, in the midst of all there is to do--is perfect. I highly recommend you browse, and enjoy taking classes there.

Lovely non-profit arts center. Has spacious gallery upstairs at street level and studios below. Plus, in the building behind it there are many more works displayed. To go through everything at a relaxed, enjoyable pace takes about an hour or so. No admissions charge and well worth it. LOTS of Sedona and regional art. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. We bought several photos mounted on metal. Highly recommend.

Absolutely not to miss!!! Amazing place, and the wealth of information provided by Gallery Manager, Valerie Pulido was captivating! Thank you!!!

what a gem! glad we got to check it out while in town. caught the "Vision & Sounds: An African American Experience." although it was a small exhibition, still appreciate the highlighted artists and their works. very glad to see Sedona providing a platform for artists of color in the region. although we were curious what/where the "sound" part of the exhibition was.

If shops that peddle crystals, geodes, and related things in the spiritual space aren't for you perhaps you're more of a "Sedona Arts Center" customer. I certainly am. Sedona's shops have so much of the above-mentioned stuff, coupled with commercial art that did little for me, that I made sure to get myself here when I learned of it. Although I entered right about the time they closed, the friendly worker in the space - an artist herself - helpfully let me stay until I was through enjoying the wide variety of art on display. There's not a ton of art to see but just enough to restore my faith that the artists of Sedona aren't all peddling stuff that looks like what I was seeing in the shops. Once done viewing this ever-changing and varied collection of well-priced works I was invited through another door to see the figurative works that a recent class had been creating. If I ever find myself living in Sedona I've no doubt that Sedona Arts Center is a place with which I'd have more than a passing relationship. If you're an art lover, make some time to enjoy it.

It's great that Sedona has committed to local artists and artisans by opening an Arts Center. When we visited there was an exhibit called Que Hermoso that was alright. I would've liked to have seen more sold from these three artists on consignment. The Sedona Arts Center also offers classes and that's a great community service to keep the arts thriving in Sedona!

It is great Sedona has a committed art center. I visited the galleries. The main gallery has two sections with 2D and 3D art. They also had a juried show at a separate building. They also host classes and I must say the view from the ceramic studio is great.

Wonderful art center on top of the hill at the end of the shopping district. Check out artwork from local artists. They had a guild show in one of the galleries with affordable and beautiful work. They also offer classes, supporting and cultivating the art scene in Sedona. We also enjoyed walking around the grounds with lovely sculpture.

What a gem of a space filled with creative humans. Love the classes and the community.

The Gallery contains so many works from wonderfully talented local and regional artists! So many different mediums and styles. And all very reasonably priced, plus, as a non profit organization dedicated to the arts and culture, there is no sales tax on your purchase! A Do Not Miss in Sedona!

My wife went in the other day to sign up for an art class here. She was denied entry because she was not wearing a mask. The Sedona mask law gives exemptions for those who have medical conditions which prevent them from wearing a mask, which my wife does have. No matter where you stand on the mask issue, this is wrong. And it's discrimination. So if you want to go to one of the only places in Sedona that's denying people entry for not wearing a mask, then go for it. Otherwise, there's a lot of other places you can go in town to give your business to.

This is not strictly an art gallery. They teach art here. This was another of the Jordan fruit packing barns. When European artists discovered it, it was standing empty. Max Ernst (dada and surrealism) and Nassan Gobran (sculpture) cultivated art here. This has been the impetus of the local art scene since 1961. It is the reason Sedona is an art haven today.

Very reasonable prices. Not as much of a selection as I'd hoped for. Still a great value for the price. Highly recommend.

Beautiful art center with amazing, affordable art from locals! Do not miss!

I was excited to visit the gallery at the Sedona Arts Center because an artist I have been following for years has her work there. Unfortunately I was not able to enter the gallery because they required face diapers. I don't patronize businesses that force their customers to wear worthless masks. They are obviously run by liberals. Sorry, I would have made a purchase. It's sad for the artists that the gallery drives customers away.

Go here first!!! If you are shopping for pretty things in Sedona, this place has the most gorgeous stuff in town for the absolute best prices. Talaquepaque is popular, but overpriced in mostly every shop. The art center was a way better experience for my family and I. We wanted to take everything home.

There was a white haired lady at the front that told us when inquiring about more pieces of a particular art that if we didn't see what we wanted that the front door was right there so we left. So rude and my husband wanted to buy a walking stick but after that remark no way!

I love the fact that Sedona Arts Center has the local artists there - granted, not all of them are working at the same time, but I was able to ask the artist personally about a pair of earrings that were for sale there. She made them, of course, and I get compliments on them each time I wear them. Next time I'm back in Sedona, I'll definitely stop by!

They teach art here and support local artists in the area. Was here for the plein art festival and enjoyed the range of different styles and subject matter. Should be on every visitor's must visit list!

Parked here and made this the first stop on our First Friday Art Walk. We took the free trolley from 6 - 8 p.m. between the different art galleries. We visited about 10 art galleries, all of which had complimentary wine and snacks. It was also really neat to talk with a few of the artists themselves. A fun way to check out the Sedona art scene and local community. If you are in Sedona the first Friday of the month, be sure to check it out!
