This is a fun time where you can abandon your inhibitions and have An Affair With The Arts. An Affair With The Arts at the West Valley Art Museum includes 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. Proceeds earned by the Museum during the event help continue the outstanding educational and cultural opportunities it offers the community.
