Richard Avedon: Among Creatives will be on view at the Museum from December 6 – May 25, 2025.

Scottsdale ArtWalk is much like a large, easy-going open house for the Scottsdale Arts District located primarily along Main Street and Marshall Way in Scottsdale Downtown. "America’s Original ArtWalk", this weekly gathering takes place every Thursday evening (year-round, except Thanksgiving) when all member galleries belonging to the Scottsdale Gallery Association (SGA) open their doors to the public and show off the work of the Southwest’s outstanding artists. A 30-year tradition, the ArtWalk process is simple; proceed at your own pace, wander into galleries that capture your fancy, stroll around a delightful area punctuated by dramatic statues, bubbling fountains, tree-covered courtyards, famed restaurants and more. Horse-drawn carriage rides and trolley rides are often available from plentiful free parking areas nearby.

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.

“Posthistoric Evolution” is an installation that invites the public to walk amongst the solid yet ephemeral objects in a scene seemingly outside of time. Sivilli’s ceramic objects recall natural and biological origins, though they are stripped of their purpose and have become static forms, an echo of their indeterminate past.

Joseph Sivilli is the 45th Annual Contemporary Crafts exhibition Juror’s Choice winner.
