Arts Central Behind the velvet curtain of CenPho’s fall arts season GETTING HERE

Appropriately named, Central Phoenix is within 15 miles of most surrounding Valley cities and is roughly bounded

by Glendale Avenue (north), Buchanan Street (south), 15th Avenue (west) and 16th Street (east). South of the I-10 is designated as Downtown, while north is called Uptown.

By Car

Follow the 51, 1-17 or 202 freeways to the I-10 and take the Seventh Street or Seventh Avenue exits to begin in Downtown.Thanks to an easy-to-navigate grid system, side streets can be used to reach the length and width of the central corridor.To start in Uptown, take the 51 to the Glendale Avenue exit.

By Bicycle

While we wouldn’t recommend long-distance treks in the dead of summer, Central Phoenix can be reached on bicycle via the Grand Canal, which runs from 75th Avenue and Camelback to Papago Park.View a map at srpnet.com.

By Bus

Valley Metro serves the entire Phoenix area with a central bus station at First Avenue and Van Buren. For routes and schedules, visit valleymetro.org.

In Phoenix, it’s hard to tell the changing of the seasons. Those telltale signs of cooler, brisker days and changing colors don’t quite come until later — when the rest of the country is buried in five feet of snow.

But what we lack in temperate change we make up for in an art and cultural season like no other.

In our fall, Downtown and Central Phoenix come alive with an array of shows, exhibits and performances designed to connect, engage and inspire the artist in all of us. Whether you’re looking to enjoy the dramatic sounds of the symphony or the awe-inspiring performances of the opera or ballet, you’ll find it here.You’ll also get a look into the creative genius of local artists at one of the hundreds of smaller art galleries and music venues dotting the cityscape.

The arts season also marks a new beginning for downtown and Central Phoenix, which has been experiencing a revival from sleepy town to burgeoning city. Everywhere you look, new restaurants, retail shops, art galleries and living spaces are popping up, adding to the economic and cultural significance of the area’s urban core.

At 75 acres, Steele Indian School Park features a dog park, amphitheater, bird lake, historic buildings and the Phoenix Green, 30 acres of rolling grass, walkways and trees. The park also pays tribute to Native American culture and history with the Circle of Life, an artistic fountain that explains the history of the Phoenix Indian School. Closer to Central is Encanto Park, 222 acres of picnic areas, a lagoon, boathouse, nature trail and two golf courses. The park also houses Enchanted Island, a children’s amusement park filled with rides and games. Other parks of interest are Margaret T. Hance Park, which surrounds the Burton Barr Public Library, and Heritage & Science Park, which contains the Arizona Science Center, Phoenix Museum of History, Rosson House and Historic Heritage Square.

If you’re tying the knot, ditch the boring banquet room and seal the deal at one of downtown’s great wedding locales. Heritage Square, the Irish Cultural Center and the Japanese Friendship Garden are a few choices for the happy event.

Sure, Phoenix is a concrete jungle. But did you know there are a whopping 15 city parks in the Central Phoenix area alone? Whether you’re into shooting hoops, grilling some dogs or letting Fido make a run for it (in an enclosed area, of course), you won’t be at a loss downtown.

What do arm wrestling and pie eating have in common?

Both will test your strength and stomach in competitive events at the state fair. azstatefair.com.

If you’re in the mood for prize-winning steers, fun midway games and deep-fried everything, rejoice! The 2008 Arizona State Fair is just around the corner, bringing with it a month’s worth of thrills, spills and chills. There’s nothing like good clean fun at this Arizona iconic event. Check it out Oct. 10 to Nov. 2.

If you consider the view just as important as the meal, make reservations at the Compass Room.

Perched high atop the Hyatt Regency Phoenix in downtown, this rotating restaurant was recently recognized by Wine Spectator for its California wine selection. If it’s nostalgia you’re after, Durant’s is the place to see — and be seen. Opened in 1950, this Phoenix landmark serves up meals fit for a king. Case in point: the 48-ounce Porterhouse. At $72.95, bring your appetite and your wallet for this one. In Historic Heritage Square is Pizzeria Bianco. Owned and operated by celebrated chef Chris Bianco, this downtown gem serves up gourmet pizzas that have garnered fans throughout the Valley and all over the nation. Be prepared to wait, however. Hungry diners are known to line up hours before the eatery opens for dinner.

Palatte is the perfect place to nibble on delicious tarts, sandwiches and salads, while sipping on a selection of soothing teas.

Enjoy your goodies on the quaint patio and you’ll feel you’ve been whisked away on a Europeaninspired getaway.
