The second annual Kierland Fine Art & Wine Festival is coming to Scottsdale.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday, Oct. 28 and Sunday, Oct. 29. Visitors can stroll and shop the Art Festival while a Wine Garden will welcome guests from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The Kierland Commons Main Street is located at 15205 N. Kierland Blvd.

More than 150 renowned artists will showcase their talents on the shopping center's Main Street, with a collection of unique, handmade works of art representing various cultures and a range of subject matter and media, including still life, landscape, portraiture, nature, and abstract. Original works will include bronze, clay, glass, metal, and wood sculptures.

Other works include paintings on canvas, mixed media, fiber art, hand-blown glass, handcrafted jewelry, photography and more. The artists are being juried by a group of professionals that lauds creativity, quality, presentation and uniqueness.

Those 21 and over can enjoy wine tasting from top Arizona wineries. Patrons can pre-purchase tasting tickets at www.kierlandcommons.com/ArtWineFestival.

The Wine Garden will feature wines from 16 of Arizona's best wineries hailing from Willcox Wine Country in southeastern Arizona where 74% of the state's wine grapes are grown.

Guests can also experience musical entertainment from local artists including Bill Dutcher, J Forte, Stanley Serrano, Wes Cichosz trio, The Sahnas Brothers, and Sandra Bassett.

The Art Festival is open to all ages with free admission. Those 21 and older can purchase beer-tasting tickets for $20, which includes a keepsake beer glass and 10 tasting tickets, or advance Wine Garden tickets for $30-$35, which also includes a commemorative wine glass and 10 tasting tickets.

Proceeds from Wine Garden ticket sales will benefit Horses Help, which provides therapeutic and recreational horsemanship opportunities to children and adults with physical, cognitive, and behavioral challenges, including the at risk and military populations.

The second annual Kierland Fine Art & Wine Festival is coming to Scottsdale Oct. 28-29.
