Celebration of fine art 2026

Experiences Artwork Mediums Artists

Open Daily Jan. 17-MaR. 29, 2026 | 10am-6pm Look for THE “BIG WHITE TENTS” AT 7899 E Mayo BLVD, SCOTTSDALe, AZ 480.443.7695 | celebrateart.com

What begins as a tent becomes a world of its own. For ten weeks each winter, Scottsdale’s iconic white tents transform into a living environment of painters, sculptors, jewelers, photographers and makers—all creating in real time and inviting you into the experience. From January 17 to March 29, 2026 , you can stand just feet from a masterpiece in the making. Watch fire shape metal. Watch color build worlds. Watch hands turn imagination into something you can truly hold onto. This is where art comes to life. Where the maker meets the admirer. Where creativity sparks connection and a single moment becomes a story you take home. It’s part gallery, part working studio, part conversation—and entirely unlike a traditional walk-through show. More than an exhibition, the Celebration of Fine Art is built on connection. Ask questions. See how pieces are formed. Hear the stories behind the work and discover what drives the artists you love. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, building a first collection or simply drawn to beauty and craft, this is a place to slow down, look closely and find art that genuinely resonates. WELCOME TO THE ART EXPERIENCE THAT HAS IT ALL

Deepen your experience with the Art Discovery Series, an hour-long conversation with featured artists held each Friday at 4 pm.

Each Friday from 4 to 5 pm, discover the inspiration, techniques and stories behind the creation of art. Enjoy wine, cheese and artistic dialogue at informative panel discussions and demonstrations. 2026 Art discovery series The Celebration of Fine Art Presents:

Sponsored by:

2/6: MUSEUM MAGIC – Around the world, museums hold timeless treasures of historical, scientific, artistic and cultural interest drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Learn from our panel of museum experts about what goes into creating a compelling and dynamic experience for visitors. Discover what makes the magic happen. 2/13: BOLD MOVES – From reflective surfaces, to salvaged felt to reverse engineered acrylic paint, these artists go for bold media choices to express their artistic vision and create the unexpected. Learn how these creative minds make bold media come to life. 2/20: WIDE OPEN SPACES – From Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” to Maynard Dixson’s iconic depictions of the American Western landscape, artists and collectors alike are captivated by wide open spaces and big, beautiful skies. Hear from artists who capture these stunning vistas and how they translate these onto the canvas. 2/27: CREATIVE ORIGINS – Have you ever wondered how artists come up with the ideas for their work? Some may be inspired by what they see in representational art forms, others create visual stories from the depths of their imagination. Whether ethereal landscapes, abstract figures or pure abstraction, discover the origins of these creative works. 3/6: SHINING THROUGH – It’s human nature to be drawn to light and texture. Though rooted in survival, the attraction also stems from the positive psychological and emotional effects they have on us. Learn how and why artists use elements of gold, silver and copper leaf along with paint and resins to bring magnificent works of art to life. 3/13: FROM CARVING TO CASTING – Learn about the fascinating process of bronze casting. From concept to sculpting in clay, to casting, assembling and finishing with patina, discover traditional methods like lost wax as well as modern-day technology that brings the artists’ imagination to fruition. 3/20: INTO THE WILD – See the world through the eyes of landscape and wildlife artists who capture stunning places and creatures on canvas. They’ll recount tales from some of their wild adventures while out painting or photographing their subject matter and how they bring the heart of the wild into your home. 3/27: WHAT’S THE MESSAGE – While every work of art has a message to share, some works hold layers of metaphors and symbols that speak volumes and spark deep introspection. Whether subtle or bold, or customized specifically for the collector, discover what inspires these artists to use symbols to share messages that move us. 1/23: BE STILL – Still life art, which depicts mostly inanimate subject matter, has been a prominent art form for centuries. Objects may be natural, like food, flowers or plants, or manmade, such as glasses, books or collectible items. Color, composition and light play a key role in the message of a still life. Discover what inspires today’s artists to carry on this timeless tradition. 1/30: EYE OF THE LENS – Whether urban scenes, sweeping vistas, or plant and animal life, fine art photographers have a way of capturing the emotion of the moment. Learn how they use patience, timing, lighting, exposure and composition combined with technical skills to tell powerful stories frozen in time.
