Tents on an old ranch. Very clean and warm enough even on a cool day. Most booths were manned, about 60 percent by the artist who produced the work. Over half of those artists were actively creating art work right there. A limited sculpture garden in the middle of tents, not much to see outside. Entered on a free coupon. Not worth the $8 or $10 admission price
Art Expo in the Desert The Arizona Fine Art Expo is celebrating its 20th year. Located on the property of McDonald's Ranch, at the corner of Scottsdale road and Jomax, this temporary expo runs from January 10th thru March 23rd. The admission price of $12 will get you in for the complete ten week season, which is open 10-6 seven days per week. Over 70 artists have come together to showcase a variety of mediums and styles. You'll see paintings, photography, sculptures, metal works, woodworking, jewelry, and more. I spent three hours with a friend, who is an aspiring painter, and we barely made it through 1/3 of the artists. We truly had such a fun time chatting with each artist about their individual stories. Each person was so kind and truly seemed to enjoy speaking with us about the passion in their work. I walked in seeing so many paintings, but I walked out in awe and educated about how different each one is. Peter showed off his colorful African series that I fell in love with at a previous gallery. Scott amazed us with his patience in building up layers for the coolest unique 3d look. Jung humbly explained the concepts of her beautiful Korean inspired art. Jun kindly shared the inspiration for his distinctive style using cement and paint. With nine weeks left, we have plans to return multiple times!
Super cool place to see varieties of art! Would highly recommend! The thing that blew me away the most was the guy that did layers of tubed out paint! I tried to capture a little of what we saw, but you really have to go see it in person to understand how cool it was.
Fantastic! So wonderful to be able to get out to real art and culture IN PERSON! Plenty of space to social distance with fresh air inside. This is the perfect set up. Many new artists and exciting new art. A friend and I felt that, OVERALL, the energy of the art in this show is more "alive" than the art in the other white tents on 101! Yes, the old cowboy and western artists who have been exhibiting here for decades are here, but beyond that, it's very exciting art and fabulous talent here this year. I'm going to enjoy going back to talk with the artists many times! We spent 3 hrs there today (only 2 hrs at the other tents 2 weeks ago), and I had to leave for dinner with my son. Truly, some of the art I saw today brought tears to my eyes, it was so creative and flawlessly executed. Brilliant! GO! ENJOY yourselves and talk with the artists, and support them, too. While you're there, try a BBQ grilled burger or some of the other food at the cafe. THIS art show has a wonderful courtyard with TREES! The other tents courtyard, is a stark, open contrast to here. A 3 piece band played all afternoon here outside, and it was lovely to take a break and sit in the shade/sun to listen and enjoy a bit of nature and music, surrounded by world class art!.
