Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

This summer, the Scottsdale Gallery Association is pleased to announce the return of its specially themed June Days Gold Palette ArtWalk. From 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, guests can enjoy a cool experience that coincides with the City of Scottsdale’s June Days summer spectacular, which celebrates the season and all there is to see and do throughout Old Town.

The event takes place throughout the Scottsdale Arts District — along Main Street from Scottsdale Road to Goldwater Boulevard and north of Indian School on Marshall Way to 5th Avenue — and features refreshments and live entertainment designed to celebrate summer in Arizona while evoking a cool vacation getaway experience. In addition to live entertainment and refreshing surprises along the Scottsdale Arts District, participating galleries will host their own in-gallery event:

One of eight annual Gold Palette ArtWalks hosted by the Scottsdale Gallery Association with participation of member art studios and galleries, the June Days ArtWalk will be set to the tunes of a live steel drum band designed to get guests into the summertime spirit. Participating galleries will present special exhibits that pay homage to an Arizona summer and offer refreshing sips to keep guests cool. Participating galleries include:
