Travel with us to Arizona for a trip balancing history, art, iconic structures – and recreation!

Here are just some of the places and experiences we anticipate:

Taliesin West is the star attraction – Frank Lloyd Wright’s beloved home and winter laboratory. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and National Historic Landmark nestled in the desert foothills of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, Arizona. Established in 1937 It was built and maintained almost entirely by Wright and his apprentices, making it among the most personal of the architect’s creations.

Canal Convergence – Our visit coincides with “Canal Convergence” a nighttime week-long installation of site-specific light art, performances, workshops and more. Large-scale public artworks created by the artists from around the world and locally will illuminate the Scottsdale Waterfront along the Arizona Canal each evening. We’ll be staying in easy walking distance!

Arcosanti –Likely the most unique place you’ve ever seen – an experimental town started in 1970 by Italian-American architect Paolo Soleri. Arcosanti explores the concept of “arcology,” combining architecture and ecology. It blends social interaction and accessibility with sound environmental principles, such as minimal resource use and access to the natural environment. The town has a renowned molten bronze bell foundry as well as artist studios, permanent residents, and education facilities.

Sedona – A tour of some of the unique architecture and the incredible red rock formations before we head back to Scottsdale that night.

Cultural Attractions:– We’ll take in a number of iconic cultural institutions in Scottsdale along with a tour of the 1929 Biltmore Hotel, influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright.

As always, our tour includes airfare, ground transportation, hotel accommodations, admission fees, and the majority of the meals. We will leave a few mealtimes open to your choice, since we will be in walking distance of dozens of fabulous Old Town Scottsdale eateries.
