Arizona Fine Art Expo 2027

For over 22 years, the Arizona Fine Art Expo has brought artists and art connoisseurs together to share their love of the arts. This juried, award winning 10-week show features renowned and emerging artists from around the world.  With 124 working artist studios in a sprawling 44,000 sq. ft. tent in Scottsdale, Arizona, artists will have an opportunity to connect with art enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Located in North Scottsdale within a beautiful desert landscape, the show is surrounded by some of the wealthiest communities in the country.  Well established as a collector's show, qualified, knowledgeable and affluent clientele enjoy meeting with artists, relaxing in our 2-acre sculpture garden or delighting in the wonderful food at our Cafe De Expo.  Live music on the weekends and other special events helps make the Arizona Fine Art Expo an unique annual event that draws people from across the country.
