The inaugural Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week is coming to Scottsdale in the spring.
The event will bring together nearly 100 leading art galleries from across the U.S. and around the world when it comes to WestWorld of Scottsdale March 20 through March 23.
The event will highlight Scottsdale, Phoenix and the Southwest region’s rich art history and heritage, introducing gallerists, collectors and enthusiasts to the area’s artistic talent. Exhibitions will feature art and design, fashion and cultural programming, and educational guidance for first-time art buyers.
“There’s a reason the desert Southwest has attracted and inspired the likes of Georgia O’Keeffe, Max Ernst and Frank Lloyd Wright as well as Contemporary Land Artists James Turrell and Walter de Maria, and continues to inspire the new talent of today such as Contemporary Indigenous artists,” Michael Plummer, Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week development director, shared in a press release. “This, coupled with the fact that the city has a huge concentration of younger wealth looking to learn more about art collecting, as well as one of the nation’s under-appreciated communities of collectors, makes it the ideal setting for such a special event.”
While Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week’s main fair will take place in the North Hall at WestWorld of Scottsdale, the four-day celebration will also include a series on-site cultural events, as well as off-site events at the Phoenix Art Museum, the Heard Museum, the Desert Botanical Garden, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, among other venues.
