Thousands of art enthusiasts descended on the inaugural Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week to view and buy works from hundreds of artists from around the world this spring. The event’s founders want to put the Valley art scene on the map for locals and out-of-towners alike.

“It’s our opportunity to showcase the wonderful institutions, galleries and vibrant artists and art scene that we have, and that’s been established here for quite some time, just maybe wasn’t receiving the national recognition,” says director Amy Gause.

Following the March event’s success, organizers have announced the art week will return to WestWorld Scottsdale in 2026, from March 19-24.

Here are nine notable numbers from the inaugural Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week:

100,000 square feet of exhibition space showcasing artists from around the world.

More than 14,000 attendees toured the exhibition over four days.

Nearly 1,000 artists had their work shown, many for the first time in Arizona, by 100 galleries. Those artists’ works range from museum-quality antiquities to modern art created at the event.

Nine countries from across the globe had artists represented.

7,000 miles between some artists and the art fair at WestWorld. That mileage is the distance from Turkey to Scottsdale, but artists from Europe, Japan and Argentina were also represented at the exhibition.

Attendees 12 years old and under received free entry to the event. “We want to encourage families to come—all ages,” Gause says.

11 cultural seminars hosted, showcasing conversations around art, fashion and more.

For the second year’s exhibition, “we do want to continue to grow,” Gause says. That may mean representing new artists and galleries and expanding that representation across even more countries, as well as attracting more local and out-of-state attendees.

“There are just so many ways to continue to expand and build on the foundation that was laid this year,” she says.
