Art Link, Inc., is one of the oldest artist-run, all volunteer arts organizations in downtown Phoenix. Since 1989, it has organized Phoenix’s biggest annual artwalk, Art Detour. This year’s facts and figures:
- What: Free self-guided tour of 60 downtown Phoenix galleries and studios.
- When: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 8, and Noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, March 9.
- Where: Free shuttles will run three routes during event hours. The hub is Burton Barr Central Library, 1221 N. Central Ave. Maps available at participating art spaces.
In 1994, Art Link created First Friday, which has grown to become the largest monthly artwalk in the U.S. With dozens of arts venues open free to the public each month, Art Link’s First Friday succeeds in bringing people back to downtown Phoenix.
