Gallery on Main Street by dshinkle
"Art lovers will enjoy the Main Street Arts District in Scottsdale. The street has blocks of galleries that feature different styles of arts, including contemporary, Western realism, American Indian, and traditional. Antiques shops are also in the Main Street Arts District. Visitors will find antiques ranging from china to Oriental rugs."
This is the heart of the art scene in Phoenix. There are two main art streets in Scottsdale, Marshall Way and Main street. Scottsdale's art district is filled with winding streets, amazing restaurants, bars and clubs, and of course art.
At certain times of the year everything stays open late for a Thursday night "Art Walk".
Park your car at Scottsdale Fashion Square and take the trolley. Or park on 2nd street and have a beautiful walk, especially in the spring, winter, and fall.

 Old Town Scottsdale by dshinkle
"Hitching posts and wood-front shops are reminiscent of the days when sheep were herded down Scottsdale Road, and the surrounding areas were still open space. Those open spaces have since evolved into a string of shops and entertainment hubs."
Although most of the buildings date from the 1920s, the old town district of the "wests most western town" features authentic looking buildings. You will find shops full of western jewelry, clothing, knicknacks, and art. There are also great bars and restaurants so come planning to eat.
I highly recommend Old Town Tortilla Factory.

Pick up a walking tour map at the Scottsdale Historical Museum (The Little Red Schoolhouse), built in 1909. It's at 7333 E. Scottsdale Mall in the Civic Center complex, just east of the intersection of Brown Ave. and Main St. http://www.scottsdalemuseum.com/
The Scottsdale trolley runs through here from November through May. Leave a Comment

This should really be under Tourist Trap. If you've got money, some of the galleries are pretty interesting and a short walk around the area might be nice, but for the most part it caters to tourists and doens't have too much to get excited about. Leave a Comment

The town itself is not as old as the name implies. The town is just over 50 years old and the oldest building dates back to 1908. In this area you will see buildings which give this area an old western feel. You can find over 100 art galleries housing work by famous and yet to be famous artist. Many shops line the streets. Many sell Native American Jewelry and crafts. Many restaurants are in this area as well. In fact, Scottsdale has its own culinary institute on 5th Ave and Scottsdale road. Leave a Comment
