"There ain't no cure for the summertime blues," says the song. Rubbish, Scottsdale Gallery Association would say -- not only is it bad grammar, but patently untrue. Its cure: this year's Summer Spectacular Artwalk, scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, July 6. Various openings and related events at and around some 100 galleries are planned during this 11th annual midsummer-night stroll, a special edition of Scottsdale Gallery Association's weekly Artwalk series, on Main Street and Marshall Way in Scottsdale's downtown arts district. Among the many openings at this year's edition of the free event:
