Scottsdale League for the Arts (SLA) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, volunteer organization of accomplished men and women who support artists, arts programs and arts education through fundraising and special events. In order to offer continuous value and assistance to the arts, the League awards all net funds raised to a variety of arts focused organizations through a grants program. The SLA was originally formed in 1978 with a mission to raise funds for capital improvements to the Performing Arts Center. The first Scottsdale Culinary Festival was held in the atrium of the facility where it stayed for many years until its growing popularity led to a move outdoors. In 1992, SLA, together with the Arts in Education Council and the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, began providing support for arts education in the public schools of Scottsdale Unified School District. In 2002, the SLA broadened the scope of the grants program and instituted a formal grants process to increase our impact in the arts community. In all, the League has donated more than $4 million to non-profit arts entities throughout Maricopa County. The Scottsdale Culinary Festival was suspended in 2020 due the Covid pandemic. The League continues to meet monthly at social events.
