The area around Old Town Scottsdale is overflowing with glitzy galleries. When you’ve had enough of that scene, the nearby Shemer Art Center and Museum provides a change of pace.
Housed in a historic home, the Shemer Art Center preserves a piece of Phoenix’s past while providing a welcoming place to learn about, view, and make art. To do this, the art center sponsors lectures, classes, and workshops, as well as a full range of exhibits in the lovingly maintained historic home.

It’s a great place to connect with your inner artist.
