Clifton welcomes Colors of Copper<br />
This fall, the Art Depot in historic Clifton, Arizona<br />
is offering visitors a chance to enjoy<br />
the local color and vibrance of our artists and<br />
surrounding community while tasting exquisite fine<br />
wines provided by the award-winning wineries of<br />
Sonoita Vineyards and Zarpara.<br />
On November 6 and 7, the Art Depot will host Clifton’s<br />
eighth annual Colors of Copper Fine Arts and Wine Tasting<br />
Gala at the historic Clifton Train Station, 100 N. Coronado<br />
Blvd. The wineries will serve outside on the lawn, and<br />
there will be art and live entertainment inside the station.<br />
Copper was widely used throughout the ancient world,<br />
from Phoenicia to Mesoamerica. It was used, among other<br />
things, in the manufacture of sculpture, utensils, vessels,<br />
jewelry, tools and weapons. When exposed, the surface<br />
of native copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper compounds<br />
and atmospheric conditions impart a wide array<br />
of colors to copper, ranging anywhere from deep blues,<br />
emerald greens and turquoise to pinks, reds, browns and<br />
oranges. Because copper is such a beautiful and versatile<br />
material, and due to its regional importance in southeast<br />
Arizona, the Colors of Copper fine arts show attempts to<br />
capture all the wonderful aspects of this vital and noble<br />
metal. Artists are encouraged to use the colors of copper<br />
in their entries.<br />
