Arizona Wine Country Artists Village

Arizona Wine Country Artists Village organizes a juried outdoor art show held in Old Town Cottonwood, Arizona, bringing together original artists and independent makers for a weekend of art and community activities. The show is run by exhibiting artists John and Lauri Maeder, who also create their own work through Desert Lace Studio, and that background shapes an event built by artists for artists. It is a thoughtfully limited juried show, with vendor applications handled through ZAPPlication, and it runs multiple times a year in fall and spring. Beyond the art itself, the event includes a raffle, scavenger hunt, kids' craft area, and welcomes leashed pets, positioning it as a family-friendly outing in the Verde Valley wine country.
