In the Special Exhibitions Gallery at Sedona Arts Center

Vision & Sound creates an educational experience and environment that broadens the understanding and appreciation of African American visual and performing arts for multigenerational and multicultural audiences. We strive to build supportive relationships to encourage cultural equity throughout Arizona and beyond – recognizing that professional American artists of African descent are too often overlooked.
