Arizona Wine Growers Association and AZBCA, host the Annual Grand Wine Festival & Marketplace on January 26 & 27, 2019 at Heritage Square Park in partnership with azcentral.com

Two-day “Grand Wine Festival” to include wine tasting with more than 30 Arizona wineries pouring over 200 wines in downtown Phoenix.

On Saturday, January 26 – Sunday, January 27, 2019, the Arizona Wine Growers Association (AWGA) will be partnering with azcentral to host the 10th Annual Grand Wine Festival at Heritage Square Park in downtown Phoenix. The two-day festival, preceded by the Grand Wine Gala on Friday, January 25 where winners of the azcentral Arizona Wine Competition will be announced, will feature more than 30 Arizona wineries pouring over 200 wines, along with live music, food trucks and other local vendors.
​
“This is the biggest celebration of Arizona wine in the state and this year marks a record number of both wineries in attendance and wines being poured,” said Brian Predmore, former president of the Arizona Wine Growers Association. “This is the AWGA’s largest event of the year and it’s wonderful to be able to share the story and evolution of the state’s wine industry with so many people.”​

Why?

A creative collaboration with AZBCA, and the Arizona Wine Growers Association, to highlight and promote independently owned local wineries and showcase their independent expertise. The event seeks to raise awareness of the rich and vibrant agriculture and to showcase the people who have impacted the growing industry.

Sarah Richards 
Saturday 1 PM – 4 PM
Live Plein Air Painting

I see creating artwork as a fluid motion- never beginning or ending, always in cyclical action. My work is a reflection of my deepest interests and curiosities-  as primitive as the joy of simply making a mark, touching pigment to paper, and as advanced as identifying and replicating the subtle nuances of an orange sunset on a freezing day in December. This is why the audience member who views my work will find both pleasures being played with and nursed in my artistry- bold brushstrokes that borderline abstraction against issues of formality and classical tradition- a hovering point that I find myself continuously dangling over with ceaseless enjoyment.  
I aspire to create work that is fresh, bold, yet profoundly relevant to viewers of all social backgrounds, from the "average" audience member to the "elite" art critic. My work is for the people.  I hope that you enjoy my work and that it raises questions to you- be it questions of production or questions of content.

SUNDAY JANUARY 27

Holly Pyle
Sunday 12:00 PM – 1:45 PM
​
Phoenix native Holly Pyle is buzzing the valley and other corners of the US with her latest concoction of disparate music influences. Known as an intuitive vocalist with an “ability to inhabit nearly any style of music,” Holly started out as an opera major at Northern Arizona University, quickly shifting to complete studies in jazz and psychology. Since diving into a full-time music career in late 2014, Holly has cultivated her own progressive soul-pop sound, releasing two albums and giving over 1000 performances, both locally and throughout the US. In addition to moonlighting with several acts from hip-hop to country to jazz, Holly frequently performs as a solo a-cappella act using electronic looping to sample and recombine her voice into an ever-changing choir of Hollys. Her original psych-soul project House of Stairs released a full-length album in Fall of 2018. 
Ryanhood
Sunday 2:15 PM – 4:00 PM

NAMED "BEST GROUP/DUO" in the 2014 International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA’s), acoustic-duo Ryanhood got their first break more than a decade ago as street-performers at Boston’s Quincy Market. Cameron Hood’s rich and folky lead vocals, Ryan Green’s explosive guitar and mandolin riffs, and their airtight vocal harmonies prompted the Arizona Daily Star to call them, “a match made in radio heaven.”  They would go on to tour with Jason Mraz, record an album with grammy-winning producer Ross Hogarth, share stages with Matt Nathanson, Train, American Authors, and Lifehouse, and even get tweeted about by Ellen DeGeneres.  
​
Ryanhood has collectively performed more than 800 shows in 45 U.S. states, where their cross-generational sound has been equally at home in colleges, coffee-houses, concert halls, churches, and living rooms. Their sixth and newest album, Yearbook, released on March 3, 2017, and has been described as "“nestled in a great pocket, feeling all at once focused on storytelling and intimacy while not being afraid to wield a big musical stick” by For Folk’s Sake. They currently reside in their hometown of Tucson, AZ, where they have won more than a dozen Tucson Music Awards including “Best Folk Band” and “Best Rock Band” (you can decide for yourself which is most accurate).

Linda Harrison-Parsons
Sunday 11 AM – 4 PM
Live Painting

I document moments in time, to preserve those images that are here today and may be gone tomorrow. Trees, leaves, animals, wild and domestic are the focus of my work. As each season regenerates and each animal prepares for the season, I try to capture the feeling of that event. I create works that reflect a feeling of environment, along with the realistic images that represent nature. Embedding, these works in handmade paper as two-dimensional wall pieces or creating artist-made books taken to a sculptural level. Many of my paper pieces are created using acid free recycled papers.
