In Scottsdale, this week is quite a special week! On November 5, the 2021 iteration of Canal Convergence commenced! 

Canal Convergence is a beloved annual series of free activities and events that takes place across the Scottsdale Waterfront every fall. This public art event brings together artists and art admirers from around the world in appreciation of Scottsdale's amazing art scene. Public artworks illuminate the waterfront each evening, filling the city with wonder and awe.
