Tempe and Scottsdale have always been known for their amazing annual art fairs, and the beautiful spring season of May used to be the highlight of the year for many art lovers with two major cross-discipline art festivals going on: the Tempe Festival of the Arts and the Scottsdale Arts Festival, until the pandemic disrupted everyone\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n

But like what people always say: art cannot be stopped and will not be stopped. Rather, it is during difficult times when art truly shines onto someone\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n

This year, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, both Tempe and Scottsdale decided to move their famous annual arts festivals online.<\/p>\n

With over 300 booths of different artists from around the nation and the world, the Tempe Festival Of The Arts this spring is going to be one of the most unforgettable experiences you\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n

The Tempe Festival Of the Arts also gives out art supply grants to help support local and regional artists \u2014 so remember, when you support the art festival, you are also supporting working artists to create more.<\/p>\n
