Canal Convergence 2019 Has Concluded

Attendees experienced 10 days of wonder at the Scottsdale Waterfront during this FREE annual confluence of water + art + light, all with a focus on sharing the story of how water, through diverse perspectives, has greatly impacted Arizona’s history.

Our next Canal Convergence will take place in November 6-15, 2020!
