Sedona is well known for its thriving Art scene. Why not? The subject matter is excellent (the local landscape is such an inspiration to many artists).

To help the art community survive and thrive in this economy a new non for profit organization has been formed. Called the “Arts Council of the Verde Valley” this organization is oriented toward finding resources for working artists in this area. The group has already held several meetings at Yavapai College and is looking for others who want to join their effort.

Despite the challenging times to start a non for profit organization, the members are hopefull that things will improve for them and for the artists they represent. With the assistance of the City of Cottonwood Economic Planner and several members of the art faculty at the Yavapai College, this group is striving to create a significant resource for artists in this area.

This new organization should function as a hub of information, creating a public and comprehensive directory of all arts organizations, arts businesses and artists in the Verde Valley, with an updating directory of all arts events. The group is working toward creating a website, membership development and marketing plans.

Despite being in its early stages this group should have a great benefit to the Verde Valley area. Watch this space as this story unfolds.
