Scottsdale to brighten up the canal
Scottsdale Canal will light up for its annual Canal Convergence – a free 10-day immersive, authentic art, light, and water art experience titled “The Story of Water.”
The canal will have local and international artists’ installations place along the waterfront and suspended above the canal itself. Guests can take part in outdoor dance performances, poetry readings, storytelling, and music on the Soleri Plaza stage. Artists will present workshops and talks at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and along the Scottsdale Waterfront. There will be community bike rides.
Two new installations from Squidsoup are line up to participate this year. One will be at SMoCa and the other will be at the waterfront.
A swarm of hundreds of lights will swirl around SMoCA at night accompanied by audio. The experience is titled ‘Murmuation’ which refers to a flock of starlings.
Canals and canyons will be formed by 600 interconnected light balls choreographed to the sound of waves as it undulates over the Arizona Canal in an installation titled ‘Standing Wave’.
Old Town Scottsdale’s Arts District will light up nightly until the end of the year as local artists build light installations in eight locations. Cities that have events like this like to have pictures they can include in their visitors’ guide brochure printing.
Canal Convergence will take place from November 8 to 17 from 4:00 pm until 10:00 pm at 7135 E. Camelback Road, Ste. 155.
