Cattle Track Arts Compound

It was a unique place. The outside looks totally deserted and cluttered. All the buildings, if they have windows or doors, are covered with blinds so you can’t see into anything. So it feels very unwelcoming and like a ghost town. I happened to see somebody pop outside the one building and so I was able to meet them and get the tour of the place. The artists there are very passionate about their work and they are very skilled. There’s a pottery place, woodworking, painting, colored pencil artist, old blacksmith shop, dance hall, theatre where they hold shows and musical events. I’m glad I stopped in and they were willing to chat with me for a bit.

I don't think many people know about this place...I know I didn't. Met up with friends for an outdoor concert that was fun and low key. Trio Rio played country standards and shared stories of their adventures in music and traveling. I'll be back again when the artists'studios are open (they were already closed when I got there). I also heard they're going to open a restaurant in the main building. Will need to check it out.

Trio Rio is Always the best when playing at such a welcoming environment with so much Arizona history ❤️

Came by to hear the Dusty Ramblers Project. Nice outdoor venue. Byob.

Cool arts complex with studio space and various media artisans whether paint, ceramics, photography, fabrics, welding, they're here. Artists here very welcoming. The hours were a bit unclear, but we just showed up and were shown around. It was interesting to see a working varied arts community in their creative spaces.

Never seen any talented artist anywhere.

Very cute show. Some illusions were outstanding but others very ordinary. Not impressed with belly dancing or singing at start of show. Juggling acts were good

A hidden gem. Even locals don't know about it! Get a tour from Mark McDowell and see amazing, some in-residence, artists. Hear the history and its meaning to Scottsdale. Buy something wholly unique and really cool.
