Scottsdale Gallery Association Presents June Days Gold Palette ArtWalk

In celebration of summer, things are heating up in the Scottsdale Arts District, which stretches along Main St. from Scottsdale Rd. to Goldwater Blvd. and north of Indian School Rd. on Marshall Way to 5th Ave. On Thursday, June 6, the Scottsdale Gallery Association (SGA) and participating member galleries present the June Days Gold Palette ArtWalk in conjunction with the city of Scottsdale’s June Days summer spectacular. Guests can take in live music and cool refreshments as they stroll through the district and enjoy masterpieces that evoke summertime vibes.

“Summertime in Scottsdale is a perfect time for locals to really embrace everything we love about the area, including our robust art community,” said Scottsdale Gallery Association President French Thompson. “We invite everyone to come out for a beautiful summer evening filled with entertainment and some of the most incredible art from local, national and even international artists.”

The following galleries are featuring special summer-themed exhibitions and events within their storefronts during the event:

Altamira Fine Art

7038 E. Main St.

During the June Days ArtWalk, Altamira Fine Art will be highlighting the stunning works of Arizona artists Kenneth Peloke and Geoffrey Gersten. Peloke’s art depicts “wild characters” both animals and people that embrace the freedom to roam, much as the artist himself is inclined to do. Gersten’s current exhibition at Altamira showcases nostalgic, sometimes black and white, images of the past that have been vibrantly brought to life by dramatic pops of color.

Carstens Fine Art Studio & Gallery

7100 E. Main St., #B

During the Artwalk, Carstens Fine Art Studio & Gallery is pleased to present a Celebration of Summer featuring painting demonstrations, live music and light refreshments.

Gebert Contemporary

7160 E. Main St.

Gebert Contemporary will be showcasing several uniquely summery pieces by Arizona artist Cher Juracich.

On the Edge Gallery

7045 E. Main St.
Get out of the heat and step in to the cool haven of creativity at On the Edge Gallery! Vibrant paintings and intricate sculptures and much more will be on display and guests can meet Lynn Gustafson, fused glass artist, and Cindy Snider, acrylic abstract and geometric artist.

The Signature Gallery

7177 E. Main St.

ArtWalk attendees are invited to immerse themselves into the captivating world of woodwork through the eyes and art of Greg Campbell. Each of his pieces tell a story and evoke a sense of wonder through the grains and curves of the wood vessels.

Wilde Meyer Gallery

4142 N. Marshall Way

In celebration of the season, Wilde Meyer Gallery presents an exhibition featuring summery art by a variety of gallery favorite artists including Greg Dye, Dara Daniel, Kristin Harvey and more.

Xanadu Gallery
7039 E. Main St., #101

Xanadu Gallery is featuring works by award-winning photographic artist Elisabeth Ladwig, whose work is the convergence of photography, graphic design and collage art. Fueling her creations is a grade-school revelation connecting science, nature and magic: the idea that all of life’s mysteries fall within the parameters of scientific explanation, that science abides by the Laws of Nature and that all of it is magical.

The Scottsdale Gallery Association’s weekly ArtWalk, held most every Thursday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. in partnership with the city of Scottsdale, highlights the finest art in Scottsdale featured throughout more than 30 galleries and two museums — Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West. In addition, the SGA’s Gold Palette ArtWalks, with multiple events throughout the year, feature extended hours, dedicated themes and specialty activities including entertainment, refreshments, demonstrations and more.
