Sedona AZ – First Saturday Jerome Art Walk celebrates the Fourth of July weekend in artistic style as galleries and studios open doors for an evening of summertime enchantment on July 6, 2019. From the Anderson-Mandette Gallery at the Old Jerome High School to Made in Jerome Pottery at the other end of town, delightful surprises abound in this artist colony high on Cleopatra Hill.
Restaurants will be offering delicious fare and the charming hotels and bed and breakfasts will be welcoming visitors on this holiday weekend. Cool evenings at a mile high beckons guests from the steamy Arizona valleys, and lovely art is as much a draw as the respite from the heat.
