Inside Scottsdale Art Week: A Global Art Fair in the Sonoran Desert Welcome to the Scottsdale Vibes Podcast, I’m Alicia Haygood. This week we’re talking about an exciting cultural event returning to our city this week. Scottsdale Art Week is bringing galleries, artists, and collectors from around the world to WestWorld, and today we’re getting a behind-the-scenes look at what makes this international art fair so special. Scottsdale has long been known as one of the Southwest’s premier arts destinations, from our galleries in Old Town to world-class museums and public art throughout the city. And this week, that reputation takes center stage once again with the return of Scottsdale Art Week, a four-day international art fair happening March 19th through the 22nd at WestWorld of Scottsdale. The event brings together 120 galleries from 15 countries, along with artists, collectors, and art lovers from across the globe. But what makes Scottsdale Art Week unique is its emphasis on the Southwest — highlighting Indigenous expression, regional influences, and the cultural stories that shape this place we call home. Joining me today are Trey Brennan and Amy Gause from Scottsdale Art Week. Amy serves as the Fair Director and has been instrumental in shaping the vision of this event, while Trey plays a key role in helping bring the experience to life. Let’s chat about what visitors can expect this year, the inspiration behind the fair, and why Scottsdale is the perfect place for an international art event like this.
