The Scottsdale Gallery Association is setting the stage for another spectacular season of art, culture and community with the release of its 2025–2026 Gold Palette ArtWalk schedule. These special ArtWalks build on the energy of the city’s long-running Thursday night tradition, adding extended hours, themed entertainment, live music, special installations, gallery-exclusive exhibits, and plenty of refreshments along the way.

Each Gold Palette ArtWalk runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and fills the Scottsdale Arts District with activity. The district stretches along Main Street from Scottsdale Road to Goldwater Boulevard, as well as north of Indian School on Marshall Way up to 5th Avenue. It’s the heart of Scottsdale’s gallery scene and one of the most walkable, art-rich neighborhoods in the Southwest.

This season’s lineup brings back beloved themes and introduces fresh ways to experience art after dark. Scottsdale’s holiday glow takes center stage on December 11 with Scottsdazzle. The new year keeps the momentum going with Western Week ArtWalk on January 29, followed by a celebration of sculptural art during Demonstrate: Sculpture on February 12.

March ushers in Native Spirit on March 5, a night that highlights Native art and storytelling. The season wraps with Celebrate Spring on April 9, featuring botanical and nature-inspired works that welcome the new season. The Scottsdale Gallery Association, a nonprofit made up of gallery owners, continues to champion the city’s arts community.

“Scottsdale is home to more than 100 galleries dedicated to exhibiting the finest visual art from around the world, as well as local Arizona art,” the organization notes. Its ArtWalks date back to 1975, created as a way for art lovers to engage directly with galleries, meet featured artists and enjoy an evening rich with culture and creativity. More details can be found at scottsdalegalleries.com.
