Thunderbird Artists, the leading producer of fine art events in the southwest, is thrilled to present the Thunderbird Artists Spring Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival, our thirty annual spring festival in downtown Carefree. The carefully curated selection of fine art ensures that guests are exposed to a diverse range of artistic styles and mediums, allowing them to discover new favorites and expand their artistic horizons. As visitors stroll through the festival grounds, they can engage in conversations with the artists themselves, gaining insight into their creative processes and inspirations. This direct interaction fosters a deeper appreciation for the artwork on display and creates a sense of connection between the artists and attendees. The ambiance is further enhanced by the melodic tunes of live music floating through the air, as well as wine tasting, spirit sampling, ice cold microbrews, savory food, sweet treats and more!
