Arts & Crafts Fair

From Arts & Crafts Fair Website:

Saturday, Nov. 3 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

About the Fair:
The tradition began in 1983 at the Civic Center Senior Center, which was the City of Scottsdale's original senior center in downtown Scottsdale. At the time, the purpose of the event was to provide an opportunity for local seniors who were taking art classes at the relatively new facility to showcase their artwork. Over the past 34 years the fair has evolved into a large community event, with over 150 art vendors who sell a wide range of original artwork, jewelry, photography, glass and iron work, clothing and much more. The combination of high quality original art and hand-made crafts make the Arts & Crafts Fair a terrific shopping experience where gems await around every corner. The event features artwork for any budget, with treasures available for as little as $1.

Although the main focus of our fair continues to be great, well priced art, a variety of other activities and entertainment make the event a phenomenal family affair. This year's event will feature a terrific line-up of local acoustic jazz entertainment, art demonstrations, food and free children's art activities. The 34th annual Arts & Crafts Fair drew over 3,500 attendees.

Take the Trolley and forget about finding a parking spot. The Granite Reef Senior Center is conveniently located along Scottsdale's Neighborhood Trolley route. Connect to the route through any of Scottsdale's Trolley options or Tempe Orbit.
