 * Wednesday – Friday // 10 am – 8 pm ⁠
 * Pay-What-You-Wish Wednesdays // 3 – 8 pm ⁠
 * First Fridays // 5 – 8 pm
 * Saturday – Sunday // 10 am – 5 pm ⁠

Artlink's First Fridays Art Walk

Artlink has not restarted the monthly Third Fridays Art Walk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, many art events are still occuring in the downtown Phoenix area.


Join us on the third Friday of every month for one of downtown Phoenix's signature, ongoing art events. 


While similar in programming to First Fridays, Third Fridays are also known as “Gallery Night.” Many arts destinations and businesses open up, and the visiting crowds are decidedly more arts-focused.

Watch top-ranked tennis pros compete up close and personal as the 5th annual Arizona Tennis Classic returns to the Phoenix Country Club on March 10 – 16, 2025. The state’s sole ATP Challenger Tour event, this highly-anticipated tourney is Arizona tennis fans’ only chance to see up-and-coming stars, such as Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini, who competed in last year’s event. (This year’s 32-man lineup will be announced at a later date.)


Hosted on the beautiful grounds of the Phoenix Country Club, tickets start at only $40. Most important, all proceeds for this non-profit event will again be donated to local charities such as Phoenix Children’s Hospital, as well as Serve the Future, an organization that empowers local underserved youth through tennis.


Launched in 2019, the Arizona Tennis Classic is part of the ATP Challenger Tour, the proving ground for rising stars and highly ranked seasoned players. And because it’s scheduled between two of the ATP Tour’s biggest tournaments in the US, Indian Wells and The Miami Open, the event draws a surprisingly stacked collection of top players from around the world looking to win the $231,150 in prize money, and earn 175 tour points, while enjoying a week of fun in the Arizona sun.

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.


WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” 


From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains, heart and courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).
