A Palette of Fine Art:
At the heart of this event lies a showcase of exquisite fine art featuring both local and regional talents. Wander among the art tents and discover a treasure trove of paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces that capture the essence of Southern Utah and beyond. From the intricate details to the bold, abstract strokes, there’s a piece of art to resonate with every soul.  Many of these artists are local icons; others are more recent transplants, with their works found in private and public collections locally and worldwide. 

The Symphony of Sound:

Live music will serenade your senses as you explore the art on display. Five talented bands will grace the stage, filling the air with melodies that complement the visual masterpieces. The fusion of music and art promises an immersive experience where each brushstroke and each note tell a unique story.

Creative Sparks:
For those intrigued by the artistic process, “All About Art” offers captivating live painting demonstrations. Witness the transformation of large blank canvases into breathtaking works of art as skilled artists share their techniques and insights. It’s a chance to peek behind the curtain and see art come to life before your eyes.

Delight for the Palate:
Art isn’t just about what you see; it’s about what you taste, too. Indulge in artisan food that tantalizes your taste buds while you soak in the creative ambiance. From savory bites to sweet treats, there’s a culinary experience awaiting to complement your artistic journey.

Support a Worthy Cause:

Prior to the event, the Washington City Mayor and City Council will be painting their own masterpieces. Their paintings will then be silently auctioned at “All About Art” in the WCAC tent, with all proceeds being donated to charity. Please place your bid and show your generous support.
