Over the weekend of October 3-5, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, the Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour will showcase 78 juried artists across 55 private studios, as well as additional artists in four Art Centers, throughout the Prescott/Quad-City area. This beloved annual event offers attendees an opportunity to visit with the artists, observe their creative processes and purchase one-of-a-kind works of art from many different mediums, ranging from painting and ceramics to jewelry and glass. Attendees of this free, self-guided event may begin at any location and visit as many studios as they like. This year’s Tour will feature exciting new additions, including the Phippen Museum as an Art Center and “Beyond the Studio: The Artist Tour Preview,” an exhibit of Tour artists’ work on display from August 21 through September 21 at the ‘Tis Art Center & Gallery (105 S. Cortez Street in Prescott). For detailed information, visit www.PrescottStudioTour.com.

Each year, attendees of the Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour report that one of the most intriguing aspects is the opportunity to observe artists as they actively demonstrate their craft. This experience allows attendees to learn about the materials, techniques and processes used in creating a work of art, while forging a personal connection with the artists.

The Prescott Area Artist Studio Tour is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that strives to educate the public about how and why artists create their work. Supported in part by the City of Prescott, the Prescott Area Arts & Humanities Council and the Arizona Commission on the Arts, the Tour also fosters an appreciation of the arts and promotes art education.

Prints. People. Power

Clara M. Lovett Art Museum

September 15 - November 27, 2025

Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 - 5:00 PM

The Clara M. Lovett Art Museum at Northern Arizona University proudly presents Prints. People. Power., an exhibition celebrating the bold visual voices of artists from across the American southwest as well as Central and South America who harness the power of printmaking to address pressing social, political, and cultural issues while also celebrating our shared humanity. Featuring works from the museum’s permanent collection, we focus on artists from three organizations: the Taller de Grafica Popular (1937), the Movimiento Artistico del Rio Salado (1978), and the Arizona Print Group (1990s). The exhibition enables visitors to explore how artists utilize the democratic medium of print to amplify marginalized voices, inspire dialogue, and foster connections across borders.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.

In addition to household hazardous waste and electronics, participants may also bring medical waste and paper documents for shredding. This event is for residents of Sedona and unincorporated Yavapai County. No commercial business waste will be accepted.

Disposing of hazardous waste in landfills contaminates drinking water and can kill wildlife. Throwing out electronics can waste billions of dollars in recoverable materials such as gold, silver, coltan, copper, palladium, platinum and other valuable metals. Proper disposal is important for protecting the health of humans and the environment. Waste collected at the event will be by partners Clean Harbors, Westech Recyclers, Ponderosa Medical and Assured Document Destruction.
