How to do Scottsdale's Art Walk Right

You Should Be Here: How to Experience Scottsdale ArtWalk Like a Local.

This is Scottsdale ArtWalk, a weekly tradition that turns the city into a living, breathing gallery.

If you're planning to visit — or you're local and haven’t yet explored it — consider

this your guide to experiencing ArtWalk the right way, with a highlight on one of its

most beloved stops: Bella Fine Art Gallery.

What Is Scottsdale ArtWalk?

Held every Thursday from 6:30 to 9:00 PM, Scottsdale ArtWalk is a free, self-guided

art experience in the city’s historic Arts District. More than 100 galleries open their

doors for guests to wander in and out at their own pace, enjoying original art, artist

appearances, live music, refreshments, and warm hospitality. It’s casual, it’s

walkable, and it’s a perfect blend of culture and community — something everyone

should experience at least once.

Why Bella Fine Art Gallery Should Be Your First Stop

Bella Fine Art Gallery, located right in the heart of the ArtWalk route, is a must-visit

destination. Known for its vibrant, curated collection of contemporary and fine art,

Bella showcases works from both nationally recognized and emerging artists.

Here’s what makes Bella special on ArtWalk nights:

How to Fully Enjoy ArtWalk. To truly maximize your evening, follow these steps:

1. Arrive Just Before Sunset

Stroll into Old Town around 6 PM, when the lighting is golden and the crowds are

just beginning to gather.

2. Start at Bella Fine Art Gallery

Get grounded with a visit to Bella first — the quality and diversity of the artwork sets

the tone for the rest of the evening. Plus, it’s a great place to get your bearings, talk

with gallery staff, and maybe even pick up a glass of wine.

3. Slow Down and Explore

ArtWalk isn’t about rushing. Let yourself wander. Some galleries have live music. Some have sculpture gardens. Some feel like stepping into another world.

4. Talk to Artists and Gallerists

This is a rare chance to connect directly with creators and curators — don’t be shy!

Ask questions, learn the stories behind the art, and you’ll walk away with a much

richer experience.

5. Wrap It Up with a Treat or Nightcap

Finish your ArtWalk night with a sweet bite at a local gelato shop or a cocktail at one of Old Town’s stylish lounges. The Scottsdale nightlife is just steps away.

It’s More Than an Event — It’s a Vibe

Scottsdale ArtWalk isn’t just for art collectors — it’s for anyone who craves

inspiration, connection, and a night out with soul. Bella Fine Art Gallery is proud to

be a part of this tradition and welcomes visitors every Thursday with open doors and open hearts. So if you’re in Scottsdale on a Thursday night…

You should be here. Come see what makes ArtWalk one of the most unique and accessible art experiences in the country — and let Bella be the highlight of your night.
