The 19th annual Gold Canyon Arts Festival will be held on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds of the Gold Canyon United Methodist Church at 6640 S. Kings Ranch Road in Gold Canyon.
The festival, nestled in the Superstition Mountains, is a gift to the community from the non-profit Gold Canyon Arts Council and their sponsors, features no admission fee and free parking.
An average of 5,000 people a year have attended, and exhibitors call it the best one-day festival in the region. The juried art show will feature the work of 90 artists in a wide variety of genres and styles from the East Valley and throughout the state. Programs will be available listing the artists, their specialties and booth locations.
There will be live entertainment all day provided by the Territorial Brass, the Yellow Bird Indian Dancers, the Arizona Trio, and the Houser Family (all subject to change). A food court will offer a variety of foods and beverages. There is truly something for everyone. The Gold Canyon Food Bank will be there, and we encourage you to donate to this worthy cause. Further details can be found under Events at www.goldcanyonarts.org.
The Gold Canyon Arts Council, a non-profit organization, strives to bring world-class concerts to the East Valley through its Canyon Sounds Performing Artist Series. Our core non-profit mission is Student Arts Education whereby all of our performing artists provide tutorials and workshops at regional schools.
