It is a must see when you are in Fountain Hills.

Lots to see and learn here, and guided tours available at scheduled times, though I preferred to…read moreroam the museum at my own pace. Posters and film clips of westerns like A Man Called Horse (1970) and Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josie Wells (1976). Handcuffs of all kinds on display (more accurately described as "retaining devices") in a western themed set. Mac Schweitzer's impressive collection of artworks, including depictions of desert animals and the wild west, especially a multitude of horse pieces. Countless paintings and artifacts on the second level, portraying native american history, the buffalo, and the evolution of american west landscapes. Scenes of collective work in western life among cowboys, herders, and traders. I found Eddie Basha's cottonwood tree root carvings interesting. And I was especially a fan of "Rabbit Hunt" by Loren Phillips (Hopi). Fistful of Colors in the north gallery explored the diverse meanings of color, such as the term "feeling blue", and how colors tell stories, evoke emotions, and create connections. The room transitioned into displays of movie posters, explaining why those from different countries vary in the way they are presented. Interactive exhibits throughout allow visitors to learn about Shakespeare in the Old West, women of the rodeo, even a scavenger hunt to find "escaped animals" in the museum. I was amused by fun facts like the first circus (Ryland's traveling show) taking place in Tombstone Arizona Territory in 1880, or how the full saying of "Ay Chihuahua" translates to "Yikes! How many Apache Indians are there without sandals!", referring to Apache raiders like Geronimo invading northern mexico wearing calf-high deerskin moccasins. There was also a small sculpture garden outside and gift shop worth checking out before leaving.

One of my goals this year is to be more like a tourist even though I'm a resident. Meaning hitting…read moreup the types of spots that tourists would visit in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Case in point: Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon with my mom to check out this museum that specializes in Western and Native American art. Here's what I really like: complimentary docent-led tours three times daily. We got to participate in two of them. They're a great way to get a more in-depth view of the museum. With that being said, even if you explore the museum on your own, you'll have a great time doing it. It's a two-level museum and there's plenty to read about and check out. We spent roughly three hours there and probably got through about 50% of the museum. Here's what I didn't like: they have two back-to-back video presentations in the small theater. They unfortunately weren't happening when I was there due to a private event. Bad luck on my part. Also, general admission is a bit pricey. Outside of the price, it's a fantastic museum. There's a complimentary parking lot across from the museum or you can find street parking. And it's a few blocks away from the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. You'll see Arizona's landscape represented in paintings, Native American artwork, Western movies, and much, much more. I'll definitely be back again!

Would go again next time I'm in the Cave Creek area! Variety of prices and products, different and better than I see in Virginia.

Love the clothes I bought, and always get compliments!

Great variety of food trucks. Today was really cold and windy but lucky there were food vendors that sold coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea and hot apple cider. The arts & craft booths I really like the variety, tons of vendors selling candles, great variety of jewelry items Native American, spoon and fork rings and necklaces, lots of charms necklaces very unique items. Creative children items, even a Cardinal/ASU unique T-Shirts & sweatshirts. Some paintings, pottery not the normal items you would see at the Tempe Arts Festival this was unique in a good way. This fair was free, plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. All the vendors were really engaging and I really loved the setup. It was not huge like the Tempe Arts Festival but they had a nice variety of booths and a great place to pick up unique Christmas items.

Our family window-shopped initially (Sunday evening) and enjoyed the art so much that I came back later while on business to visit inside. Love Dale Terbush's paintings (amazing sunsets) and Rodd Ambroson's scupltures. The gallery owner, David Guglielmo, greeted me immediately; he was very welcoming, and we had a lovely chat, but he also gave me plenty of time to peruse the paintings quietly by myself for as long as I liked. He insisted I take a bottle of water for the road to stay hydrated when I left. I did end up coming back later to have a second look, and ended up purchased a painting. David was kind enough to ship it to me out-of-state, and even said he would be willing to take it back within two weeks (we'd only pay return shipping) if for some reason we didn't like it in our home, since we live out-of-state and couldn't test drive it locally. He also picked up his phone promptly when I called, even when he wasn't physically on site at the time. All in all, a lovely experience in this gallery, with a friendly and kind owner, and we'd go back again. (I was not paid for this review, nor did the owner even suggest it. Just paying a good experience forward!)
