At the Celebration of Fine Art you are personally able to ask the artists yourself and learn about their works. Josh Kenzer and I visited the Celebration of Fine Art which is located up in Scottsdale at the southeast corner of Scottsdale Rd & Loop 101.  Over 100 artists from around the country come to display their artwork in a 3 month long event.  This unique event that is quite different from your typical art exhibit galleries. One great thing about this event is the vibe. I found that walking through the galleries was very pleasing and comfortable. This is definitely not an expo where artists stop you in your tracks to sell their works but rather serve as a ‘guide’ to answer any questions about their pieces. All of the artists are very friendly and approachable and want you to understand and appreciate their art as much as they do, which I found to be really great.

One artist by the name of Kyle, whose work is displayed in the lawn area, noticed our awe of one of his pieces – a big dinosaur made from motorcycle, bicycle, and car parts. It stands roughly eight feet tall and eight feet long. We were intrigued by his design and Kyle was more than happy to explain how it all came about. An interesting fact about this dinosaur – it took two years to find all the materials, and six weeks to build. And like every other pieces of art at the event, the big dinosaur is for sale. Price? Well, attend the event to find out!

Another great thing about Celebration of Fine Art is the wide range of art on display such as paintings from abstract to realistic, and sculptures from ceramic to metal, jewelry, to name just a few. There also is plenty of mixed media art to peruse through! I found some great pieces that I know would definitely look great in my new house. So be sure to check out Celebration of Fine Art! There’s still time to attend this fantastic event, which runs thru March 28.
