Scottsdale’s Boots Were Made for ArtWalkin’ – 21st Annual “Western ArtWalk”
Coming to Downtown Scottsdale, Oct. 14, 2010, 7-9 pm
 

The 21st annual Western ArtWalk is set to return Scottsdale to “West’s Most Western Town” status on Thurs., Oct. 14, from 7 to 9 pm. The event will be hosted by the Scottsdale Gallery Association in conjunction with Downtown Scottsdale and sponsored in part by Arizona Collector’s Guide.
 

The curious will find plenty of live country music and cool guitar picking spread across eight blocks of the Scottsdale Arts District, with featured artists Mary Hoffman and Rocky Shaw sponsored in part by True West Magazine. Free restaurant samplings, fun prize giveaways and other special doings can be found along the ArtWalk route as well.

The Western ArtWalk is held each Fall during the Phoenix Art Museum’s Cowboy Artists of America Show. Many famed “CA” artists have works on display at featured Scottsdale galleries and have been known to join fans and collectors at the Western ArtWalk. Some art lovers take the opportunity to get totally duded up for strolling in spurs, bolo ties and Stetsons.

Well, sir, you can find Scottsdale ArtWalk along Main Street, just west of Scottsdale Road, and along Marshall Way north and south of Indian School Road up to Stetson Drive and ARTScene at the Waterfront. There are plenty of nearby free parking areas, and easy access to local hotels or famed Scottsdale eateries via Scottsdale Trolleys or horse-drawn carriages. A calendar of individual gallery events and more information is available on the Scottsdale Arts District website at www.ScottsdaleGalleries.com
