Celebration of Art (CoA) is a wonderful tradition at Grand Canyon National Park, providing a vibrant experience for visitors, a venue for artists inspired by the canyon, and a successful fundraiser to benefit a dedicated art venue at the park.
Founded in 2009, CoA invites participating artists to paint "en plein air" (outside on location) for a week at the South Rim of Grand Canyon. Artists are tasked with capturing the ever-changing colors and light as the sun moves across the intricate layers of the canyon. Paintings produced during this special event are shared with the public during a four-month sale and exhibition online and at Historic Kolb Studio.
This year's event will kick off with an online auction on September 2, an on-site component September 10-17, and an exhibition and sale September 18, 2022, through January 16, 2023. We will be welcoming back some of our veteran artists and several new additional artists this year. See below for a complete list of who will be joining us this year.
Shop the collection online or at Kolb Studios now.
