Annual ‘Beaux Arts’ Celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Scottsdale Artists’ School

Scottsdale Artists’ School celebrated their 40th anniversary in 80’s fashion at the annual Beaux Art event on Nov. 11, 2023, on their campus surrounded by incredible original art.
Event Co-Chairs: Danielle Spahle & Michael Little
Diamond Sponsors: The Ingram Family Foundation | Marylyn Modny & Ed Gregory
Entertainment: Serene Isabelo – Fire Performer
Notable Moments: Scottsdale Artists’ School executive director Trudy Hays kicked off the evening with a Madonna-style performance that started with her being carried to the dance floor on a specially made chair. Attendees rocked the 1980s theme with shoulder pads, scrunchies, and bright patterns inspired by music and TV from back in the day. The event format allowed guests to sip cocktails, browse and bid on artwork made by students and professional artists involved with the school, and enjoy a beautiful dinner buffet.
