Celebrating Contributions to the Arts

The Mayor’s Arts Awards honor those who make a meaningful impact on the arts in Sedona, whether as individuals, businesses, or organizations. Winners are chosen in four categories: Individual, Business/Organization, Education, and Lifetime Achievement, by a panel of local artists and art supporters. These awards honor contributions to the arts community across all forms, including culinary, dance, film, literature, music, performing, and visual arts, focusing on impact rather than the quantity or quality of artwork. Nominees, winners, and the public are invited to this free event.

"Sedona is home to many artists and galleries, attracting art lovers from everywhere. I’m proud to celebrate those who have made a real impact on our vibrant art community,” said Mayor Scott Jablow.
