Arizona Commission on the Arts

Leading the Arts in Arizona

One of 56 state and jurisdictional arts agencies, the Arizona Commission on the Arts supports a statewide arts network. The agency is governed by a 15-member Governor-appointed Commission and a professional staff grounded in the arts. Our staff includes practicing artists, skilled administrators and education specialists who serve in local and national arts leadership roles.

We receive and administer funds from the State of Arizona and the National Endowment for the Arts and direct this funding to programs that contribute to the growth and stabilization of the arts, impact student learning, nurture and develop artists’ craft and skills, preserve the rich traditions of Arizona communities, and encourage participation by citizens of all ages and abilities.

 

National Endowment for the Arts

The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector. 

 

 

City of Sedona

Whether you are considering a visit, have been here before, or are one of the lucky ones who lives in Sedona, one thing is for sure. The Red Rocks always leave an indelible impression on everyone that has seen them.

The experience in Sedona is cumulative. Not only do we have one of the most spectacular natural settings of any city in the world, we also have a dynamic and diverse population. Sedona has become the home of many world-class musicians, artists, spiritual leaders and educators as well as many retired executives and leaders of various types of industry.

Our economy is based primarily on tourism. Our City is surrounded and protected by the natural beauty of the Coconino National Forest, which provides outdoor activities such as mountain biking, hiking, fishing, camping and four wheel drive activities. All of this is set in the majestic backdrop of the Red Rocks. Sedona also offers a wide variety of lodging, dining, shopping and entertainment. Our art galleries offer world-class paintings, sculpture, photographs and other fine art.
