“Now is the time to step out in Old Town and enjoy the beautiful weather and the amazing galleries, wine rooms and restaurants throughout the Scottsdale Arts District,” said SGA President Jinger Richardson. “Our A Sip of Spring Gold Palette ArtWalk raises a glass to all the wonderful themes the season brings with it — renewal, hope, optimism, growth, awakening and connection to nature.”

 

Scottsdale Gallery Association members are featuring the following A Sip of Spring exhibitions and experiences within their galleries:

 

Anticus Fine Art

3922 N. Scottsdale Rd.

The gallery presents an intimate artist’s reception and meet and greet with acclaimed wood artist Dave Barkby. Internationally recognized for his extraordinary lathe-turned burl wood wall sculptures, Barkby transforms rare natural burls into striking, one-of-a-kind works that celebrate the beauty and character of wood. Guests are invited to spend the evening meeting the artist, exploring his remarkable craftsmanship and enjoying wine and chocolate in a warm, romantic gallery setting as nature, art and conversation come together for a memorable night.

 

The Marshall Gallery

The works of Neil Myers, Carole Estes, Natasha Isenhour and BC Nowlin will be highlighted in “Spring Solace: Ghost Towns and Gardens.” This exhibition explores the quiet beauty of the abandoned and blooming, with an artist meet and greet during the ArtWalk. The featured works move between weathered architecture and vibrant gardens, capturing moments where time stands still and renewal takes root.
