Art in Kayenta Festival

You are warmly invite you to spend a day with us at the “Art in Kayenta” festival. The Kayenta Arts Foundation presents a fabulous three-day event that runs Friday October 11th through Sunday the 13th. Each year, thousands of art lovers make their way to Kayenta in Ivins Utah to enjoy not just art but stunning autumn desert vistas, culinary delights from festival vendors, a beer and wine garden with live music and Kayenta’s own Xetava Gardens Café.

Wind your way through a collection of over 40 juried, regional and national artists who specialize in media ranging from sculpture to painting, jewelry to ceramics, wood to metal and more. And then unwind… to live music at the beer and wine garden. The festival also hosts a silent auction featuring the original work of the attending artists. Festival guests will have the exclusive opportunity to bid on selected art pieces. The auction is hosted by the nonprofit Kayenta Arts Foundation, with proceeds benefiting The Center for the Arts at Kayenta theater.

In 2017, the Center presented more than 50 events and workshops to residents of Southern Utah and surrounding communities. The center is home to the Lorraine Boccardo Theatre—a 200-seat black box and concert stage— as well as spaces to accommodate meetings, receptions, seminars, and rehearsals. As a collaborative arts community venue, the Center hosts a broad range of performing arts, plays, lectures, films, concerts, and educational opportunities for the Southern Utah area.
