WELCOME TO ART CONNECTION! Art has a way of soothing the soul, igniting the spirit, and connecting people in a most powerful way. It can be a record of memories or evoke the imagination of what could be. Each work of art has a story to tell. The connection between the art, the artist and the viewer make each story unique. In a time where we can be driven to distraction and disconnect, art has a way of grounding and centering us, offering a joyful place and experience. In this first issue of the Art Connection, we shine the spotlight on artist Ray Tigerman and give you a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes in an in-studio conversation with artist Leah Rei. You will also find some of our best tips for building your own collection to celebrate. We introduce you to one of our favorite architect/designers, Craig Wickersham, who shares his thoughtful approach to design through his gift of listening and watching his clients. While we enjoy this summer season, we are well on the way to planning our 2023 Celebration of Fine Art. You can mark your calendar for January 14 through March 26, 2023. We will be in our same location at Hayden Rd. and the Loop 101 in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ. During our “off-season” we do our best to get out and enjoy our beautiful country and visit artists, art shows and exhibits whenever we can. One of our favorite events happens in September each year in Cody, WY. You can read a bit about that in our “Artful Events We Love” section. We hope you enjoy the stories, tips and insights shared in this issue. As we work on putting together an exciting and inviting experience for you in 2023, we invite you to stay connected with us through our social media platforms and our dynamic website where you will find videos of each of our Art Discovery Talks, inspirational and insightful videos and intriguing blogs. You can shop right now for your favorite artists or medium at celebrateart.com/marketplace year round. We look forward to welcoming you back in person in 2023. Until then, keep celebrating art!
