Rowe Fine Art Gallery
All You Need is Love – and Art!

Visit Sedona during the  Sedona Gallery Association’s 1st Friday Gallery Tour on February the 3rd, 2012  and you will find love in the air at Rowe Fine Art Gallery!

Everyone understands the importance of art appreciation, but at Rowe Gallery, this month it’s all about art collector appreciation. Stop by the gallery on February 3rd from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm when owners Ken and Monica will gift small tokens of appreciation to anyone who has ever purchased a Ken Rowe sculpture or any piece of art from Rowe Gallery. Wine and appetizers will also be served.

“We’ve had the most amazing two years, We opened our gallery in March 2010, and then last December we moved into a much larger space here in Tlaquepaque. There’s no way we could have accomplished so much in such a short time without our amazing collectors. They are savvy, and they know inspired works of art when they see it. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, we want our clients to know how much they are appreciated by Rowe Gallery and by our artists.” – Owner Ken Rowe

Bring your sweetheart with you to the show; the two of you might find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift as you browse the gallery’s selection of contemporary and traditional southwestern sculptures, paintings and jewelry. Remember, all you need is love – and art!

Rowe Fine Art Gallery is located under the bell tower in Patio de las Campanas at Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village. For more information on this Sedona event please visit the Rowe Fine Art Gallery.
