Guides for Scottsdale
The Scottsdale Gallery Scene
Scottsdale's emergence as a major art market began in the 1950s when artist communities began establishing studios in what was then a small desert town east of Phoenix. Today the city hosts one of the country's most active gallery scenes, anchored by the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and framed by the annual Scottsdale Arts Festival and the weekly Thursday ArtWalk that draws thousands of visitors to the Old Town gallery district each week from October through May. The galleries of Marshall Way and Main Street range from established dealers in Remington bronzes and Russell paintings to cutting-edge contemporary spaces showing work by emerging artists of national significance. The Heard Museum — technically in Phoenix but central to the broader Scottsdale art world — holds the finest collection of Indigenous art in the Southwest, with particular depth in Hopi katsina figures, Diné textiles, and Pueblo pottery. The Scottsdale arts scene operates on a seasonal calendar driven by the winter resort community, with openings, events, and auctions concentrated from October through April.
