Mark Your Calendar for the 18th Annual Celebration of Art: September 25-27, 2026

Grand Canyon Conservancy's Celebration of Art (CoA) is a favorite Grand Canyon National Park tradition that provides a vibrant experience for visitors and an exhibition for artists inspired by Grand Canyon. Founded in 2009, CoA is a fundraiser for a dedicated Art Venue planned at the South Rim. 

The Grand Canyon Art Venue will be the hub of art activity at the canyon, displaying the park’s current collections while providing room for future acquisitions. The event aims to inspire deeper engagement and appreciation for Grand Canyon among visitors of all ages. 

CoA features a carefully curated group of artists whose work is inspired by the canyon. This year’s theme, Earth-Mapping, explores the landscape through sensory, ecological, and interpretive perspectives — from plein air and photography to abstraction and conceptual design — inviting audiences to see the canyon in new ways.
