The CoA Exhibition and Sale is open to the public at Kolb Studio through January 15, 2024. 
The week-long event and fundraiser had an audience of returning fans and visitors who were captivated by the artists as their palettes brought the magnificence of the Grand Canyon to their canvases.
“This is my first year and I’m so excited to be a part of CoA,” said artist Russell Johnson of Prescott. “The Grand Canyon is one of the first places I backpacked when I was 13 and that trip has inspired me to represent what I’m feeling when I’m here.”
Along with Johnson, six other artists from Arizona attended, Bill Cramer of Prescott, Chris Fanning of Lake Havasu City, Matt Sterbenz of Chandler, Marcia Molnar of Prescott, Deborah McAllister of Cottonwood and Dawn Sutherland of Flagstaff.
Other artists came from as far as Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, California and Oregon.
The CoA Exhibition and Sale is open to the public at Kolb Studio through January 15, 2024. The online sales gallery can be viewed at shop.grandcanyon.org/collections/celebration-of-art.
“Celebration of Art is a wonderful opportunity to bring a piece of Grand Canyon home with you through unique artwork while supporting the Grand Canyon Conservancy in its effort to raise money for an art venue at the canyon’s South Rim,” said Grand Canyon Conservancy Director of Marketing and Communications Mindy Riesenberg.
