This Saturday, December 14, Scottsdale Public Art will lead a free public art walk through Old Town.
From 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. pedestrians will enjoy a guided exploration of Artist Tad Savinar's Historical Happenstance, a series of markers along Scottsdale Road that illustrate its cultural history and evolution, as well as the multi-city project, platFORM, a temporary installment of public sculptures designed by ASU students.
Along the two-mile walk, guests will have a chance to meet and greet with some of the artists, such as Tad Savinar and ASU students, Elijah Bourque, Matthew Briggs, Ben Nunnery, and Muharrem Yildirim.
The Historical Happenstance and platFORM Walking Tour will kick off at the North East corner of Scottsdale Road and Roosevelt Street, with complimentary return transportation at the end. For more information, visit scottsdalepublicart.org or check out the event on Facebook.

Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
