Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week features work by Michael B. Schwartz

 



The Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week made its debut on the national arts scene, with over 14,000 attendees descending upon WestWorld of Scottsdale during the four day festival. This past March 20-23, 2025, over 100 galleries from nine countries showcased internationally known and emerging visual artists from throughout the world. The event marked a pivotal turning point for the the Southwestern Art scene.

I was selected to participate in this amazing inaugural exhibit with the ArtLink booth.
I submitted a work entitled “Ganim” (Gardens in Hebrew), created in 2023. It’s an acrylic painting on canvas, 36” x 48” x 1.5”. 

“Ganim”

The work represents this idea of rebirth, renewal and growth, while acknowledging our individual and collective suffering. This idea that the “wheat shall grow again” is comforting, to know that there harmony and peace exist in the world, and we must intentionally be it’s stewards.

Check out my website to find more artworks, and perhaps one that’s perfect for your collection.
