Guests of Hotel Valley Ho and anyone else interested in the history and stories behind some of Old Town’s most iconic pieces of public art can now join the hotel’s new Insider Public Art Tour.
Launching this month, the tour is led by local expert Ace Bailey and takes participants on a journey through one of the best public art programs in the country. Kicking off at the hotel, the walking tour lasts about two hours and showcases many of the permanent pieces and installations on display in Old Town Scottsdale. Not only will art-curious guests get to peek at and learn about the sweet art, they’ll also get a sweet bite at Super Chunk Sweets & Treats.
Highlights of the tour include Knight Rise by James Turrell, the Goldwater Bell by Paolo Soleri, Soleri Bridge and Plaza by Paolo Soleri, The Doors and Sound Passage by Donald Lipski and Jim Green, One-Eyed Jack by John Randall Nelson, Passing The Legacy by Herb Mignery, Jack Knife by Ed Mell, and the iconic LOVE sculpture by Robert Indiana.
