Make plans now to attend one of Arizona’s premiere and longest-running arts festivals!
Each year this two-day event kicks-off holiday shopping, Arizona style!
Initially established in 1988 as Sunday at Shemer, the Shemer Arizona Arts Festival is now our signature fundraising event! This annual festival features over 40 Arizona artists selected from all across Arizona, a variety of art demonstrations, Arizona authors and illustrators, art organizations, local community businesses, a $5 interactive Art Zone with art activities for all ages, live music, food & beverage vendors and a silent auction.
The Shemer Arizona Arts Festival is one of four community events held at the non-profit Shemer Art Center each year to support and showcase its programming, exhibitions, gift shop and sculpture garden. This event demonstrates the Shemer’s mission and dedication to showcase and support Arizona artists, which the Shemer has been doing since 1984!
