Grand Canyon Celebration of Art Debuts September 18

Grand Canyon Conservancy warmly invites you to the 17th annual Grand Canyon Celebration of Art at Grand Canyon National Park, a spectacular event taking place in person and online from September 18, 2025, to April 26, 2026.

This beloved tradition has become more than an event; it is a vibrant community of artists, collectors, park lovers, and visionaries from around the world, all drawn together by a shared reverence for one of Earth’s greatest wonders.

This year, we proudly build on that legacy, expanding beyond plein air painting to embrace the rich diversity of artistic expression—basketry, photography, and silversmithing now join our celebration, inviting visitors to experience the canyon’s magic through many cultural and creative lenses.

For the first time, this remarkable collection will be available for an extended engagement, both online and at the historic Kolb Studio, through April 26, 2026. This expanded access means more opportunities to discover the perfect piece that speaks to you—and bring home a lasting piece of the canyon’s soul.

Every purchase supports a visionary project—a dedicated art venue at Grand Canyon National Park, where all forms of Grand Canyon-inspired art will be celebrated for generations to come. Set within the historic Grand Canyon National Park Headquarters, a landmark of the Mission 66 era, the future art venue will be a beacon for creativity and cultural exchange.
