Taking place on the evening of Nov. 12, the event in the downtown Scottsdale Arts District and adjacent SouthBridge and Scottsdale Waterfront neighborhoods will showcase the city’s sustainable efforts with a special Scottsdale ArtWalk.
A 30-year tradition, the ArtWalk process is simple — proceed at your own pace, wander into galleries that capture your fancy, stroll around a delightful area punctuated by dramatic statues, bubbling fountains, tree-covered courtyards, famed restaurants and more.
Horse-drawn carriage rides and trolley rides are often available from plentiful free parking areas nearby. The Scottsdale Arts District will play host to artist demonstrations, live music and special promotions at select nearby restaurants while
SouthBridge and the Scottsdale Waterfront will feature even more entertainment and restaurant specials as well as exhibits showcasing a variety of sustainability initiatives in Scottsdale.
Featured exhibits will include the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art’s Flip a Strip program highlighting new ideas for outdated strip malls; Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve; talks by local architects; and a photo gallery of all LEED-certified projects in the city.
There also will be a live Jazz concert produced by the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, an outdoor beer garden where you can sample some of the country’s tastiest brews courtesy of Draft Magazine and a special catering truck that will serve grab-and-go menu items made with all local ingredients that place special emphasis on organic dishes.
