Every October, thousands of art enthusiasts and families make their way to the Kayenta Art Village for our annual three-day FREE art festival in Ivins, Utah. Not only do festival goers enjoy spectacular art, they are also treated to stunning desert vistas, culinary delights from festival vendors, a beer and wine garden, live music, and Kayenta’s own delicious Xetava Café and The Rusted Cactus.
Guests will have the opportunity to visit a collection of over 50 juried regional and national artists who specialize in sculpture, painting, jewelry, ceramics, wood, metal, and other media. “The quality of art and extent of creative expression at the Festival is extraordinary. Combined with the Art Village setting and backdrop of the Ivins red mountain, it is truly a special experience,” states Kayenta Arts Foundation Chair, Rob Goodman.
The Art in Kayenta Festival hosts a silent auction featuring original work from the attending artists and offerings from local businesses. Festival guests will have the exclusive opportunity to bid on selected art pieces. Proceeds benefit the Center For the Arts at Kayenta and the performing arts in Southern Utah.
