Meeting Date: November 10, 2026
General Plan Element: Economic Development
General Plan Goal: Sustain Scottsdale as a tourist destination
ACTION
Scottsdale ArtWalk Adopt Resolution No. 13804 authorizing funding up to $150,000 from the
portion of the FY 2026/27 Tourism Development Fund that is allocated toward event retention and
development, and Contract No. 2026-166-COS with the Scottsdale Gallery Association for the
Scottsdale ArtWalk.
BACKGROUND
Arts and culture are important components of Scottsdale's tourism identity, contributing to the
destination's appeal and national and international visibility.
Scottsdale ArtWalk is a longstanding weekly evening event that attracts residents and visitors to Old
Town Scottsdale's Arts District. During the proposed agreement period, ArtWalk will take place each
Thursday evening from December 3, 2026, through May 27, 2027, encompassing 24 events. The
series features gallery exhibitions and artist demonstrations, providing opportunities for cultural
enrichment, arts education and community engagement.
The Scottsdale Gallery Association has requested $150,000 in funding for a one-year agreement
supporting Scottsdale ArtWalk. The request does not meet two Event Funding Program criteria:
funding may not exceed 25% of the total event budget, and eligible events must span at least two
consecutive days. The Tourism Development Comniission considered both deviations from program
criteria in developing its recommendation. The Association has requested 50% of the funding in
advance of the first scheduled event in November, with the remaining 50% payable in March.
On September 15, 2026, the Tourism Development Commission unanirnously recommended that
the City Council approve funding of up to $150,000 for the one-year agreement. If approved,
funding would be provided from the Tourism Development Fund allocation for events and event
development.
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
The FY 2025/26 Scottsdale Art Gallery Gold Palette Series received $125,000 in City event funding,
primarily supporting marketing,and promotion. For FY 2026/27, the Scottsdale Gallery Association
Action Taken

City Council Report | Scottsdale ArtWalk
has agreed to discontinue the "Gold Palette" designation and establish consistent branding for all
weekly ArtWalk events. Select events, particularly those coinciding with holidays or other Old Town
activities, will receive enhanced marketing and promotional support.
For the proposed one-year agreement, the Scottsdale Gallery Association has identified $150,000 in
direct marketing expenditures within a total event budget of $165,000. Proposed marketing and
promotional activities will highlight Old Town Scottsdale and the broader destination, supporting
tourism visibility and visitation.
City staff have evaluated the proposed marketing and promotional benefits to determine their value
to Scottsdale and the local tourism industry. Staff have determined that the proposed benefits
represent direct consideration substantially equivalent to the City's proposed expenditure.
Following the conclusion of the event, the event producer will provide the city with a post-event
report evaluating the producer's performance under the event funding agreement and the benefits
achieved for the city and the public. If the producer does not meet the funding criteria established
in the agreement, the funding amount will be reduced accordingly, consistent with the terms of the
agreement.
Community Involvement
Discussion regarding this event took place at the Tourism Development Commission meeting on
September 15, 2026.
RESOURCE IMPACTS
Available Funding
The recommended city investment is up to $150,000 for the event funding agreement. Based on
Tourism Development Fund sources and uses included in the FY 2026/27 Operating Budget, funds are
available.
Staffing, Workload Impact
No additional staffing or other resources are expected.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 13804, authorizing funding in an amount up to
$150,000 from the portion of the Tourism Development Fund that is allocated toward event
retention and development, and approving Contract No. 2026-166-COS.

city venues or resources for any event, then any violation of this Agreement or any of the other
