Presented by the city of Scottsdale, Western Week celebrates the city’s Old West roots. On Thursday, Jan. 30, as part of the event, the Scottsdale Gallery Association (SGA), presents its Western Week-themed Gold Palette ArtWalk.   The event runs from 6:30-9 p.m. throughout 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. Live country music from Western Fusion will fill the air, encouraging dancing throughout the district. There will be an emphasis on Western art, plus other fun surprises during the event.   “Western Week brings a breadth of energy and excitement to Old Town, including the Scottsdale Arts District,” said SGA President Jinger Richardson. “We are thrilled to welcome our Western-loving art enthusiasts during this event.”   While the Western Week theme will be evident in activities and experiences throughout the Scottsdale Arts District, it will also carry on in participating SGA member galleries, which will be hosting exhibitions and events of their own, including:   Bonner David Galleries 7040 E.
