Canal Convergence 2023

Scottsdale Arts' Canal Convergence is an internationally recognized, free, 10-night public art event. This immersive, outdoor experience features large-scale, interactive, light-based artworks created by local, national, and international artists, as well as educational workshops, family-friendly activities, art tours, live music and dance performances, a beer and wine garden, food trucks, and more!

Canal Convergence is located at the Scottsdale Waterfront, along the Arizona Canal, between Scottsdale Road and Goldwater Boulevard in Scottsdale, Arizona, each evening from Friday, Nov. 3, through Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023.

Friday, Nov. 3–Saturday, Nov. 4, 6–10 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 5–Thursday, Nov. 9, 6–9 p.m.

The 2023 theme is "The Power of Play." By harnessing the power of play through public art, artists can produce compelling and meaningful experiences that reveal the power that play holds in our lives. For Canal Convergence 2023, Scottsdale Arts challenges artists to integrate acts of play into the public’s interaction with the artwork and speak to its influence on human development and its ability to unite people across all ages, genders, and cultures through shared experience.

Let's plan on parking and meeting at Sauce and we can go from there. If you are running late, please message me.
