Dozens of local fine craft artists will be showing over fifty original works of art in this year's exhibition.

The Fine Crafts Sale is the artists marketplace during It's Elemental. At the Fine Crafts Sale, you can purchase original work from local artists directly in a marketplace setting. The Fine Crafts Sale is scheduled for December 3-4, 2011. The event will feature over 20 artists, artist demonstrations, and free performances.

Perhaps the most popular event during the It's Elemental exhibition, the Fine Crafts Sale features two dozen artists in a marketplace setting with lots more artwork. Pottery, jewelry, candle holders, scarves, clothing, furniture and more - all handmade and one-of-a-kind! Admission is free to the Fine Crafts Sale, plus we're serving hot apple cider and cookies. You can also purchase items from the It's Ornamental tree - our Christmas tree that features ornaments made by local artists. This year's Sale also includes artist demos on Saturday and a free classical music concert on Sunday.

It's Ornamental

Don't forget to check out the Christmas Tree in our lobby. It's filled with all kinds of gorgeous, handmade, one-of-a-kind ornaments made by local artists. Artists make these ornaments and donate them to the Coconino Center for the Arts to raise funds to support the Center. It's perfect for the holiday season! Prices range between $5-$25.
