An Affair With The Arts is an outdoor arts festival held at the West Valley Art Museum in Surprise during the fall and spring each year.

This festive event showcases juried fine artists working in mediums from brilliant oils to glorious glass. Live music and great food romance both the ear and palate. A fine art silent auction furthers the up-beat atmosphere. Indoors one discovers exciting and powerful exhibitions the Museum has become known for. This is a fun time where you can abandon your inhibitions and have An Affair With The Arts.

The An Affair With The Arts at the West Valley Art Museum includes 75 skilled artists from Arizona and surrounding states that are showing and selling their work around the Museum for two fun-filled days. Every year art lovers and collectors return to see newly created artistic works by prominent and emerging artists. Traditional and innovative materials and styles are showcased including sculptural works in clay, glass, metal, wood, marble, and found objects. Other fine art mediums will include oil, watercolor, acrylics, photography, and glass mosaic. The art ranges in size from the perfect fit for a wall, desk, or shelf to monumental sized pieces. The event raises critical funds that helps continue the outstanding educational and cultural opportunities the Museum offers the community.
