Every year in Scottsdale, 50,000 or so visitors view the work of 100 artists from throughout the country at the Celebration of Fine Art (CFA). In 2014, the annual arts event continued through March 23 at the southwest corner of the Loop 101 and Hayden Road. Part gallery, wording studio and juried art show, the event showcases the art beneath 40,000 square feet of signature white tents. Outside is a one-acre landscaped sculpture garden. A major dynamic is its variety of styles and mediums, with bronzes and ceramics, furniture, figurative and representational paintings of artifacts, such as paintings of beaded moccasins and weavings. What’s more, offerings are always changing, as artists create in interactive studios beside their galleries while the CFA continues. So, sketch out some space in your calendar this winter for this colorful arts event.
