Artists of the Superstitions is a local Gold Canyon Arizona area non-profit organization that was originally formed in March of 2007 as the Gold Canyon Artists Group, a group of artists living and working in the Gold Canyon and Apache Junction areas of Arizona.
From its small beginning of about 10 members, artists were drawn to the group and now number over 35 artists.
They are a diverse group representing an interesting array of art mediums. The membership produces and presents work in watercolor, acrylic and oil painting, photography, wood turning, pottery, jewelry, three dimensional art (including gourds and masks), and much more.
Inspired by the Superstition Mountains, the imposing landmark that is part of the daily lives of those who live in the area, the group changed the name from the Gold Canyon Artists Group to Artists of the Superstitions in January of 2008.
In December 2010, the organization was accepted into the Arizona Art Alliance, a consortium of Art Groups in the greater Phoenix area. The members will now be allowed to exhibit at more venues across the valley.
There are several exhibits throughout the year. Visit their website for more details about the group, membership info and updated info about their exhibits.

The Gold Canyon Arts Council was formed in 1998. Each year a fine arts concert series, Canyon Sounds, is performed in Gold Canyon from November to March.
Designed to affordably meet the needs of the far East end of the Valley, programs vary from traditional classical chamber music to ethnic and folk performances with indigenous instruments. Some seasons in the past have featured blues, jazz, and theater as well. Performances are held at the United Methodist Church of Gold Canyon through a cooperative agreement. The excellent acoustics of this facility make it an ideal venue for music and theater appreciation.
In January of each year, the GCA Council sponsors the Canyon Arts Festival. This is an event which celebrates both the artists and the cultures that define and grace our area. The festival promotes both the visual and performing arts while facilitating fund raising for other community organizations. Since its inception in 2001, the festival has become a signature community event.
