Local Color is an art exhibition borne of connections.

Artists and members of the community have selected and invited the 23 artists who are featured in Local Color 2016, a biennial exhibition at the Coconino Center for the Arts. The exhibition will feature a diverse range of styles and media from these local artists, including ceramics, paintings, sculpture, large murals, and more

Member’s of Coconino Center for the Arts will have the first chance to view the exhibition at a special Member’s reception on Saturday, April 16, 6–8pm. There will be live music, hors d’oeuvres and some fun surprises. Many of the participating artists will be in attendance. A Public Opening Reception will take place on Saturday, April 23, 6–8pm.

Participating artists:

Six artists were invited to be the core artists:

• • Each of these six artists invited three more artists (6 artists x 3 artists = 18 artists)
  • Those 18 artists plus the core 6 equals 24 total invited artists

• Selection of the core six artists was as follows:
  • Two artists were chosen by a nomination and vote by the community at large
    
  • Two artists were chosen by a vote of the 24 artists that participated in Local Color 2014
  • Two more artists were chosen by a vote of the Arts Advisory Council, a group of volunteer artists who advise on art and exhibitions at the Coconino Center for the Arts.

The exhibition is accompanied by the Fine Craft Sale on December 5-6, 2015, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 12 – 4 p.m on Sunday. The Fine Craft Sale is a juried holiday marketplace featuring local craftspeople. Now in its eighth year, the Sale is a popular fixture in Flagstaff’s holiday season.
