Sedona Art Galleries

Pioneers like Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, who moved to the area in 1946, helped shape Sedona's reputation as an artistic hub. The founding of the Sedona Art Center in 1958 and the Cowboy Artists of America in 1965 further solidified Sedona’s place in the art world. Today, this creative legacy lives on in Sedona art galleries and community spaces like these:

Some of Sedona’s best art galleries and unique shops are here in the village, filled with one-of-a-kind art expressions in a huge range of mediums, from metalworking and sculpture to painting and glass blowing and everything in between.

Art Meets Nature – A Unique Fusion

Sedona’s natural landscape is almost otherworldly, inspiring the work of artists and creators in a variety of ways. Sedona’s color palette, rich with reds, oranges and yellows, purples, and browns is a prominent feature in many works, as well as the red rock formations themselves. Surrealist painters Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst dove into their niche when they lived in Sedona, inspired by the stark contrast between the red rocks and blue sky.

Combining Art with Sedona’s Spiritual Vortexes

Sedona’s famous energy vortexes attract artists and spiritualists alike. Believed to inspire creative energy, many creators visit the vortexes when they’re seeking inspiration or feeling blocked. Sedona’s main vortexes are sought after for a variety of reasons, from energy and motivation to emotional healing and connection to the earth. As artistry so often pairs with spirituality and human nature, these areas are incredibly popular among artists.

Many of the galleries in Sedona incorporate the power of the vortexes into their spaces, whether inadvertently or in plain sight. So much art is inspired by the vortexes, and galleries in Sedona even offer events that let guests dive even deeper into the magic of energetically-fueled works of art with energy workshops, light and sound classes, yoga and meditation classes, and more.
