Centerline - Artwerks

First Saturdays Return to Centerline Art District in Historic Downtown

Historic Downtown Glendale will turn into a living masterpiece on the first Saturday of each month, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as First Saturdays happens just east of Murphy Park.

First Saturdays is a free monthly artist event on the first Saturday of each month in the recently renovated walkway off of 58th Avenue (just north of Glendale Avenue.) It is a continuation of Glendale’s Artwerks initiative, attracting residents and visitors from all over the state. Last year thousands of art and music lovers visited Glendale’s Historic Downtown on First Saturdays.

This event is in conjunction with the city’s Centerline project and is designed to bring artists to the downtown shops and restaurants while showcasing their creative work.

About Centerline

Glendale’s Centerline District is a dynamic live, work, play redevelopment project in the heart of Glendale. The Centerline project area is located along Glendale Avenue from 43rd to 67th avenues, between Ocotillo Road and Myrtle Avenue.

The project is designed to revitalize the Glendale Avenue corridor by encouraging private business investment, job creation and the development of shopping, dining and recreational opportunities. The project will also result in enhanced infrastructure, public facilities, open space and neighborhoods.

Artists who are interested in participating in First Saturdays are encouraged to submit an entry form for consideration to jcornelius@glendaleaz.com. You may also fill out the online form at the top.
