Scottsdale Gallery Association Celebrates 50-Year Anniversary on April 3
On Thursday, April 3 from 6:30-9 p.m., the Scottsdale Gallery Association (SGA) celebrates a major milestone—50 years of supporting, promoting and advocating for the art community in Old Town Scottsdale through its popular weekly ArtWalk series. In honor of this occasion, the SGA and its member galleries present “Artstravaganza.”
This one-of-a-kind celebratory Gold Palette Artwalk takes place throughout the Scottsdale Arts District, which stretches along Main St. from Scottsdale Rd. to Goldwater Blvd. and north of Indian School Rd. on Marshall Way to 5th Ave., and within participating Scottsdale Gallery Association member galleries.
“We are thrilled to be celebrating 50 wonderful years of art in Old Town Scottsdale,” said SGA President Jinger Richardson. “This milestone is so significant to the many supporters and artists who have been part of the growth and evolution of Scottsdale’s art scene. We are excited to celebrate this momentous occasion and look forward to another 50 years of ArtWalks!”
In celebration of this milestone, the Mayor of Scottsdale, and the public at large, has been invited to join in the festivities including a city proclamation at the Casa de Artistas Plaza at 6:45 p.m. Additional activities include live music and memories from the past 50 years of this event, the longest running ArtWalk in the country. Participating SGA members will also be hosting their own events within their galleries to keep the celebration going throughout the Scottsdale Arts District.
The Scottsdale Gallery Association’s weekly ArtWalk, held most every Thursday evening from 7-9 p.m. in partnership with the city of Scottsdale, highlights the finest art in Scottsdale featured throughout more than 30 galleries and two museums: Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West. In addition, the SGA’s Gold Palette ArtWalks, with multiple events throughout the year, feature extended hours, a dedicated theme and specialty activities including entertainment, refreshments, demonstrations and more.
