Upcoming Events in Town




Thunderbird Artists and the Sunset Kiwanis of Fountain Hills have once again partnered to bring you another extraordinary juried fine art event that encompasses quality wines and delightful musical entertainment featuring Teresa Joy, daughter of guitar legend Esteban.  Unequaled in its ambiance and the quality of fine art, the 8th Annual Fountain Hills Fine Art & Wine Affaire is the ideal setting for this world-class gathering of artists. Featured Artists are Husband and wife team, David and Pietra Wall. David and Pietra have developed a unique technique for creating mixed-media sculptures, beginning with leather and incorporating other natural elements such as stone, copper, shells and wood to create earthy contemporary pieces.

The quaint little Town of Fountain Hills is located east of Scottsdale and about 45 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport. The community is surrounded by captivating mountain views including Four Peaks, Superstition Mountains and the McDowell Mountains as well as the beauty of the natural desert terrain.

The fourth highest fountain in the world, the 560-foot tall surge of water bursts high into the sky with the look of fireworks as the water trails down into the man-made 28-acre lake set in the center of Fountain Hills. Pushing 7,000 gallons of water per minute, the fountain has the ability to project a stream of water as high as 560 feet in the air.  It runs at the top of each hour for 15 minutes between 9 a.m.-9 p.m. and is visible from just about anywhere within the city limits.

This Fine Art & Wine Affaire enjoys the closeness of the fountain waterworks while strolling throughout the elegance of outstanding fine art. The area is abounding with shopping and dining choices.  So, Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to visit the surrounding specialty shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants and outdoor cafes.
