Goldenstein Gallery Will Present Their 1st Friday Finale

Over the past 19 years Goldenstein Gallery has hosted over 200 1st Friday receptions that have been considered a "must do stop" during the 1st Friday Gallery Tour. Known for their talented artists, dynamic art staff and exceptional exhibits curated by Linda Goldenstein, the Gallery is excited to host its final 1st Friday reception with a host of Gallery Artists. This Friday, February 7, from 5-8pm, Goldenstein Gallery is hosting their 1st Friday Finale.

In 2015 Goldenstein Gallery owner Linda Goldenstein was named Art Curator of the acclaimed L'Auberge de Sedona resort and for the past five years the renowned resort and Goldenstein have partnered in creating an unprecedented series of art experiences for guests and visitors. These experiences include life size and monumental sculpture and changing painting exhibits throughout the entire property, a vibrant Artists in Residence program where artists paint and sculpt, weekly painting classes, walking art tours on property and other special events. Featuring many diverse facets, the program has allowed L'Auberge guests and visitors to not only experience beautiful, local art, but also interact with the artists while in the natural beauty of the resort along Oak Creek. Goldenstein and L'Auberge are taking their partnership to a new level. Goldenstein is closing their SR 179 gallery and showing fully at L'Auberge. February 9th is the last day the SR 179 gallery space will be open.

In addition to an eclectic group of artists slated to attend, this is an opportunity to say good-bye to long time staff member Kayla Clements as she will soon be moving home to Michigan.
