For over 25 years, award winning events promoter Vermillion Promotions has brought the best of the fine arts world to Arizona, organizing events from Tubac to Prescott. This October, they will bring their unique fusion of fine arts and western flair to Cave Creek for their Fine Art Market, the first in a series of weekend art markets through April 2022.
Already one of Arizona’s most popular weekend destinations, Cave Creek truly lives up to its town motto, “Where the Wild West Lives.” The pioneering spirit and hometown sensibilities are particularly abundant in the city center of Frontier Town, where the Fine Art Market will set up shop.
Frontier Town prides itself on being one of the last bastions of the Wild West, using actual architecture from the 1870’s as the base for their storefronts and structures. The town center provides the perfect backdrop for the Market’s eclectic array of Southwestern and Contemporary art.
The Cave Creek Fine Art Market will offer a vibrant open-air setting, taking full advantage of the mild temperatures of Arizona autumn. The market will feature dozens of artists working in a wide variety of media, including bronze sculptures, paintings, glasswork, woodwork, ceramics, fine jewelry, and more!
Among the featured artists will be Western Sculpture Artist Craig Bergsgaard. Hailing from Colorado, Craig uses his knowledge of Classical sculpture to capture, as he says, “the free spirits, adventurers, wanderers and despots that made up the collective flavor of the period.” His sculpture brings to life the adventurous spirit of the early Wild West settlers, as well as honoring the pride and history of the Native inhabitants.
Vermillion Promotions will be partnering with a number of wineries throughout Arizona, as well as the San Francisco Chocolate Factory, so they can offer you “Everything Fine; Chocolate, Art, and Wine”!
Proceeds from the wine tasting will benefit Horses Help. Event organizer Candy Vermillion says, “Horses Help is a wonderful organization that provides therapeutic and recreational horsemanship opportunities to children and adults with physical, cognitive, and behavioral challenges, including the at-risk and military populations. We’re thrilled to work with them as our wine charity!”
The Cave Creek Fine Arts Market promises to bring the art communities of the Southwest together in one of Arizona’s favorite weekend getaways. Be sure to visit the many shops, galleries, western saloons, and hometown restaurants that abound in Cave Creek as well as the best the art world has to offer.
