Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
After downtown Phoenix’s First Friday event began pulling 10,000 people into the city’s core, other sleepy communities, such as Chandler, decided to jump into the art-walk mix. Now, thanks to the neighborhood organization Sunnyslope W.I.N.S., the north-central Phoenix community of Sunnyslope is sending out a wake-up call of its own.
The oftentimes comatose area will become a buzzing hive during the first-ever Sunnyslope Second Saturday Art Walk. More than 70 artists will display work at venues such as Nielsen Galleries, Bomberos Cafe & Wine Bar, Sunnyslope Village Center, and Grinders Coffee Co. Prices for the works will range from $8 to $8,000, so even if you’re balling on a budget, you can show some class without dropping too much coin. Local bands Pulsate Jazz, Hacksaw’s Blues, Caji & Salomé, and Try Me Bicycle will accentuate the laid-back but lively vibe.
