Arizona Art Show List, Winter 2025/26

The Jury is in!

The jury is in and I’ve got my list of confirmed shows for this winter in Arizona:

I’ve been waitlisted for the following show. This does not surprise me because it’s a popular show and many artists come back year after year. Still, I’m hoping a jewelry artist backs out and makes room for me. I’ll update this post if they do.

Upcoming Show List

Two scheduled upcoming shows and two still in the jury process.

I was going to wait before posting this, but since one of my upcoming art show appearances is coming up next weekend, I thought it best to provide information about what’s on my calendar and what may (hopefully) be added soon.

Confirmed Shows

White Buffalo
I made this White Buffalo on sterling silver pendant yesterday as I build inventory for my upcoming shows. Shown here with a howlite and sterling silver necklace (available separately), I suspect it’ll be sold in Seattle next weekend.

These are shows that are confirmed.

• Best of the Northwest
November 7-9, 2025
Warren G. Magnuson Park
7400 Sand Point Way NE
Seattle, WA 98115

Contact me directly for free tickets to this show. I have a limited number of them, so first come, first served. Look for me in Row H.

• Wigwam Holiday Festival of the Arts
December 5-7, 2025
Wigwam Resort
300 E Wigwam Blvd
Litchfield Park, AZ

This is my first time at this show and my first show in Arizona since 2021. I’m thrilled to be back and I hope I see you there.

Shows Still Being Juried

Sterling Silver and Variscite Earrings
I premiered this new earring style at my last Leavenworth Village Art in the Park show in September. Textured sterling silver, they each have two or three bezel-set cabochons. This one is Variscite.

I only participate in juried art shows. That means that all artists must submit photos of their work to be judged before being accepted. The jury process also takes into account the number of artists in each category. Jewelry is tough; there are a lot of jeweler out there! I hope to make the cut for these two new (to me) Arizona shows in 2026.

• Cave Creek Fine Art & Wine Festival
January 9-11, 2026
7100 E Cave Creek Rd
Cave Creek, AZ

• Tubac Festival of the Arts
February 4-8, 2026
Downtown Tubac, AZ

Meet Janet LeRoy!

By the way, I’ll be doing all of the Arizona shows with my good friend Janet LeRoy, who has been making art for longer than the 30 years I’ve known her. You can see her work on her website; if you come to any of these Arizona shows, be sure to stop by her booth, too.

Gearing Up for Two Leavenworth Art in the Park Shows

I become a jewelry-making machine in preparation for two back-to-back appearances at Leavenworth Village Art In the Park.

Although I haven’t updated this site in a few days, don’t think I haven’t been busy. I’ve been in my studio every day, making new inventory for my upcoming appearances at Leavenworth Village Art in the Park. This is a great little art show every weekend in downtown Leavenworth, WA. I generally appear on select weekends before and after peak summer months.

Two Pendants
These pendants are so new, I haven’t even properly photographed them for my online shop. They are Tibetan Turquoise and Lapis Lazuli, both on sterling silver. I have a wonderful lapis and silver beaded necklace to go with the blue one.

Although my earring and bracelet inventory is pretty healthy, I was in dire need of making new pendants and beaded necklaces. I’ve glad to say that I’ve gone from just 6 pendants in inventory to 54, including the two I just finished last night that haven’t even made it to my online shop yet. In between, I managed to make 6 or 7 new beaded necklaces and stock up on two of my more time-consuming earrings. Although I’ve been adding these new items to my Online Shop every morning, I haven’t had time to add them to this site.

If you like my jewelry and live in Washington State, why not make a day trip to Leavenworth to see my work in person? If you’ve never been to Leavenworth, it’s a fun little town with a Bavarian theme, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. In addition to lots of shopping and dining opportunities, there are endless trails up along Icicle Creek to get you out into the cool woods and mountains.

If you can’t make it to Leavenworth and you like my jewelry, I highly recommend you visit my Online Shop and buy whatever it is that tickles your fancy. I sell the same inventory at my shows and once something is sold, it’s gone for good. Don’t miss out. I’ll be fulfilling orders on Friday and Monday with first class shipping to US destinations.

I’ll be there with about 15 other artists on Thursday to Saturday (and possibly Sunday) of this weekend and Thursday through Monday on Labor Day weekend. Consult my online Calendar of Events for details of all my upcoming shows and classes.
