4. The Scottsdale Civic Center is getting a $27.3 million makeover! As construction begins, many of the Civic Center's pieces of art will be moved to safe locations for display, or placed in storage. Although for the betterment of the center, construction will leave Scottsdale residents without access to the popular photo-op location for a year. But, for enthusiasts, pieces can be found at their temporary locations near a lake at DC Ranch, Bell Road, the Arabian Library, the Scottsdale Historical Museum, and even City Hall.

Scottsdale Patch Notebook

LOVE came to the Scottsdale Civic Center in 2002 and quickly became one of the most beloved pieces in the Scottsdale Public Art collection." (Facebook)
