Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week is going to be one of the most ICONIC art fairs of the year, and it’s happening in the valley. Hosted at WestWorld from March 20-23, Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week is bringing together more than 100 art galleries from around the world to celebrate creativity and diversity through art.
The design for Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week originated from Trey Brennen, owner of T.H. Brennen Fine Art, who realized the absence of an Arizona-based art fair like the ones he traveled to in Los Angeles, New York and Dallas.

Brennen co-founded Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week with Jason Rose, president of Rose & Allyn Public Relations. Rose’s connections in the Scottsdale community further elevated the design of Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week, curating it to be a renowned spectacle in Scottsdale and beyond.
“We first thought it’d be the largest cultural event in Scottsdale, and that idea kind of grew into maybe it’d be the largest in the valley,” Brennen says. “And now it’s kind of surpassed even Arizona: it’s going to be the largest cultural event in the Southwest.”
Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week will feature more than 100 galleries with seven countries represented. The four-day event also boasts a lineup of daily fashion shows, a professional opera singer, original work from Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder and, of course, features luxury Ferrari sports cars.
“When you design or think about, philosophically, what an art fair, or something of this magnitude, should really give a viewer, there isn’t one specific thing. It should be an experience that hits on many different levels,” Brennen explains.

Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week not only pairs the diversity of art with the sophistication of Scottsdale, but it also provides an expansive opportunity for curators, collectors, artists and enthusiasts to mingle and connect with one another. Mark Candelaria, the principal architect and founder of Candelaria Design, partnered with Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week in its early design stages. From the beginning, Candelaria believed that the event would not solely center around art but, instead, the community found through it.
“I think there’s going to be such an amazing social aspect,” Candelaria says. “You have people flying in from all over the world who are art collectors that are going to be at this event, so I just think the opportunities to meet certain people or socialize is going to be something totally unique.”
