Why this event is perfect for leisure travellers

• See art in action. More than 120 working artist studios are housed inside a large tented gallery space, allowing visitors to meet artists, watch them craft pieces and engage in conversation. 
• Wide variety of mediums. From oil and acrylic paintings to glass, ceramics, metal sculpture, mixed-media and more — there’s something that appeals to both seasoned collectors and first-time art explorers.
• Set in beautiful North Scottsdale. Nestled at 26540 N. Scottsdale Rd. (Jomax & Scottsdale Rd) with free parking and a desert backdrop, the event is an ideal anchor for a Scottsdale-region getaway.
• Perfect for a winter escape. With cooler, comfortable Arizona winter weather and the show spanning Jan–March, it’s a great complement to spa time, resort stays, golf or desert walks.
