SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Scottsdale Arts has announced Friday, Oct. 24, as the 2025 date for its annual The ARTrageous Gala.

The major fundraiser for the nonprofit arts organization has been held in the spring during recent years. Scottsdale Arts is now shifting The ARTrageous Gala to the fall to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, which held its first concert in October 1975.

The event will honor five decades of groundbreaking performances, artistic achievement and community impact through a tribute to the power of the performing arts that have shaped Scottsdale’s cultural landscape.

In 2023, Scottsdale Arts marked 50 years since Scottsdale started its Permanent Public Art Collection with Louise Nevelson’s “Windows to the West.” And in 2024, Scottsdale Arts celebrated the 25th anniversary of Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA).

More information about The ARTrageous Gala 2025 will be released in the coming months. Visit ScottsdaleArts.org/artrageous-gala for more information.
