ACF understands the importance that the live performing arts have in community building and how these types of performances encourage our youth to explore creative expression and reach for the stars.

Heartfelt thanks to Sedona’s very own patron of the arts, Mary Byrd, for funding the hotel costs for dancers and crew members. Our sponsor, The Eye Boutique of Sedona, proves once again that it has the vision not only to improve the health of our community, but also understands that when arts are present, there’s documented increase in neighborhood livability, community identity, and social inclusion. Thank you also to Sedona Monthly and Kudos for their ongoing promotional assistance and to the Arabella Hotel for facilitating the beautiful accommodation.
