Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

It’s sure to be a happy New Year with the return of one of the Scottsdale Gallery Association’s most popular and well-attended Gold Palette ArtWalks — Demonstrate! This special Gold Palette ArtWalk takes place Thursday, January 12, 2023 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. throughout the streets of the Scottsdale Arts District — along Main St. from Scottsdale Rd. to Goldwater Blvd. and north of Indian School Rd. on Marshall Way to 5th Ave.

The event offers guests an opportunity to view live artist demonstrations at participating galleries— all for a good cause! Serving as a fundraiser for the 100 Club of Arizona and Tunnels To Towers, The Demonstrate Gold Palette Artwalk will also feature live traditional bagpipe performances.

“It’s honor for us to present this popular event once again and we’re proud it remains one of our most popular events throughout the year,” says Scottsdale Gallery Association President French Thompson. “This serves as proof of the amazing and supportive community we have here in Scottsdale, not only for our vibrant arts scene, but for our firefighters and police officers who risk their lives daily to protect ours.”
