Roosevelt Row, downtown Phoenix’s walkable arts district, is an urban creative space that nurtures arts-focused initiatives for artists and entrepreneurs. Over the past decade and more, it has grown from a small collection of galleries hosting a “First Fridays” event to a major cultural and economic force in Phoenix. The arts district started as a grassroots movement, with artists who could afford the rent in a rundown area. The story of how it became one of the most visited and eclectic arts and cultural areas in the Valley is fascinating. Get the full story, including the involvement of arts and community members, the City of Phoenix, Valley Metro and Arizona Public Service, the state’s largest electricity provider.
