Susan and Jake Potje with Celebration of Fine Art and Artist Kirk Randle
Nearly 30 years ago, the Celebration of Fine Art transformed the way people experience art when it debuted in downtown Scottsdale. Now a linchpin in Arizona’s art, culture and tourism scene, this 10- week-long hosts 100 of the country’s top artists and sees nearly 50,000 visitors from around the globe on average each year. 
The Celebration of Fine Art takes place in north Scottsdale under the signature “big white tents” and features 40,000-square-feet of working artist studios and works of art. The juried, invitational show has come to be recognized not only for its exceptional art, but also its welcoming experience and interactive atmosphere.
The show, where art lovers and artists connect, is open daily through Sunday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Since 2004, Susan Morrow Potje and her husband, Jake Potje have helmed the Celebration of Fine Art show and in 2014, they assumed full ownership. They always ensure a full spectrum of fine art and craft is represented, and they continue to support the Celebration of Fine Art’s culture as a place where art lovers and artists connect.
With an annual average attendance of more than 50,000 and revenue of more than $5 million, this remarkable show has grown to reach far beyond the city limits, attracting visitors from around the world and artists from throughout the country.
