WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ART?
Art will expand your thinking and enrich your heart – art can uplift, provoke, soothe, entertain and educate us and is an important part of our lives. Ultimately, art is trying to see things that other people don't see. Art pushes boundaries – not only of what can be considered art, but also of our own capacity to truly see our surroundings. Art can open up our senses in new ways, deepening our understanding of the world and our place in it.
All art exists for a reason and these reasons make up the functions of art. The functions of art normally fall into three categories: physical, social, and personal. These categories can and often do overlap in any given piece of art.

Artists Design Selections
We are excited and proud to announce the two art pieces selected for installation on two of our four roundabouts have been FULLY FUNDED by You, our local community members.
The AiR committee, Sedona Village Main Street Partnership and RRREMD members thank you for your loving support of this project.
We will notify the community when further progress on these two pieces is available and possible installation dates. There will also be a future effort to select and fund art for the two remaining roundabouts in the future.
The best way to stay informed is to join our email subscriber list to receive the surveys and periodic updates!
