The Best Way To Beat Record Phoenix Heat? Indoors at Scottsdale Art Week This Weekend With Four Days of World-Class Galleries Inside WestWorld’s Air-Conditioned North Hall

blankBiggest New International Art Fair in Decades Returns March 19–22 With Blue-Chip Art, Cultural Programming, Live Music and More

With record heat expected across the Valley, Scottsdale Art Week presented by Scottsdale Ferrari arrives at just the right time, offering an indoor, climate-controlled alternative to outdoor events on an unusually warm March weekend. Unlike many early spring special events and festivals in Arizona, Scottsdale Art Week takes place inside, uniting 120 international galleries and showcasing blue-chip, Indigenous, Western and LatinX works ranging from around $3,000 to seven figures.

blankSet for Thursday, March 19 through Sunday, March 22 at WestWorld of Scottsdale, the four-day international art fair unfolds entirely inside WestWorld’s air-conditioned North Hall, creating a comfortable, spacious setting through which to explore world-class art, participate in cultural programming and attend special events throughout the weekend.

Festivities begin Thursday afternoon with the First Look preview, giving collectors and members of the media an opportunity to view works before the public opening. Thursday evening’s Opening Night Vernissage continues the celebration with live music by Lunar Calendar, a wearable-art runway show by Galina Mihaleva of ASU FIDM and award presentations, with proceeds benefiting Phoenix Art Museum.

Featured artists at the second annual edition of Scottsdale Art Week include Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Marc Chagall, David Hockney, Alex Katz and Maynard Dixon, among many others.
