Sedona AZ (November 4, 2014) – The Sedona Women are offering something new for your holiday season festivities, an Art Fair featuring stunning creations by its talented members. Both members and non-members are invited to view and purchase Christmas and holiday gifts on Wednesday, November 12, 2014, from 3:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. at the Sedona Elks Lodge, 110 Airport Road, Sedona.

Participating local artists, also Dames, include:  Wendy Bialek, Brenda Cosse, Candace Copeland, Janice Dahl, Lorraine L. Fexas, Carol Gandolfo, Suzan Hatch, Mary Helsaple, Wendy Jacobsen, Joella Jean Mahoney and Heather Molans.

Lucy Paradise, Ruth Parsons, Pat Priolo, Sunshower Rose, Joy Sinnott, Linda Smith, Nicole Wilson, Joanie Wolter, and Nancy Zoll will also exhibit their beautiful creations.

Many of these artists display jewelry, sculpture, painting, fiber, glass and gourd art at some of Sedona’s most prestigious galleries and enjoy nationwide acclaim for their unique work. All this, plus caricatures, photography, and fairy doors will make you the most creative gift-giver this season!

Get your shopping lists ready because this event will allow you to conquer the holiday rush in a relaxed and enjoyable manner. In addition to the art works, there will be complimentary appetizers and drinks available for purchase.

This special event is free and open to the public. Ten percent of the proceeds will support The Helen Wolfe Scholarship Fund, enabling women whose studies have been interrupted, to return to school. In the spirit of the season, you can have fun and help others. Cash and checks are fine, but some artists may not be able to accept credit cards.

Regular meetings of The Sedona Women, Dames Who Make a Difference, take place the second Wednesday of every month, September through May, from 9:30 a.m. until Noon. The Sedona Women are dedicated to making a positive and lasting impact on the community by providing opportunities for women to build relationships, learn about the community, support community needs and enhance the natural beauty and distinctive character of Sedona.

The word “Dame” is used in England as a title of honor – the counterpart to a Knight – and connotes commitment, integrity, passion and earned knowledge. A “Dame” is a woman of substance.
