Grand Canyon Celebration of Art Begins Sept. 7

Grand Canyon Conservancy warmly invites you to the 16th Annual Grand Canyon Celebration of Art at Grand Canyon National Park, a spectacular event taking place both in person and online from Sept. 7, 2024, to Jan. 20, 2025. This extraordinary celebration unites artists, collectors, park lovers, and art enthusiasts from around the world. This year, we proudly showcase the breathtaking work of 23 gifted artists from nine states, with all proceeds dedicated to establishing a new art and exhibition venue at the South Rim.

Imagine the awe-inspiring beauty of Grand Canyon serving as the canvas for these talented artists — from the soft, ethereal shadows of dawn to the radiant golden hues of sunset. The pieces created during this event perfectly capture the canyon’s timeless grandeur, offering a glimpse into its soul.

From Sept. 7-14, artists will bring their easels and brushes to the very edge of the South Rim, painting en plein air, immersed in the canyon’s majesty. Then, on Sunday, Sept. 15, the Exhibit and Sale will open to the public at the historic Kolb Studio, featuring the stunning works of these participating artists. This showcase will continue both in person and online through Jan. 20, 2025, allowing art lovers ample time to acquire these unique and inspired creations. The online sales gallery will launch during the week of Sept. 16 at grandcanyon.org/store.

Seize this opportunity to bring a piece of Grand Canyon into your home, a lasting reminder of your deep connection to this magnificent natural wonder. For more information, please visit grandcanyon.org/coa.
