Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Scottsdale Public Art invites you to say farewell to the summer 2017 family-friendly exhibit Bird Cloud Island created by local-artist Koryn Woodward Wasson with a special closing reception party.

On Saturday, Aug. 26, from 7– 10 p.m., the Gallery @ The Civic Center Library will be transformed into an indoor “pool” party with the birds. This free event includes bird-themed Bingo with prizes, kid-friendly crafts, luau-themed movie screenings, limbo games, music and complimentary snacks and refreshments. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in typical pool-party attire, such as Hawaiian shirts, flip-flops, swimsuits with cover-ups, and as their favorite feathered friends, including the Arizona native Road Runner, Gambel’s Quail, Cactus Wren and more.

Bird Cloud Island is a midcentury modern-inspired exhibition and "hotel" where visitors can get out of the summer heat and enjoy some rest and relaxation alongside their feathered friends. While exploring the hotel as either a guest or a concierge-in-training, visitors can enjoy the resort’s special bird-friendly amenities along with a variety of free, art-making and educational workshops and artist talks.
