Hi downtown people! It’s T.J. Triolo, your guide to downtown Phoenix events. I’m back with some more things for you to do if you’re bored, need a fresh start, a way to get outside your home or really for any reason at all. This is the last week of March, so end the month on a high note with a fun local event!
Independent Woman Luncheon 2019
Tuesday March 26
Starts at 10 a.m.
Phoenix Art Museum
1625 N. Central Ave.
This seems like a fairly fancy philanthropic luncheon for the local design and visual art community in support of the Phoenix Art Museum.. It’s geared toward women, and it’s in support of the Phoenix Art Museum. The keynote speaker is Cathy Graham, who’s done illustrations for such well-known media outlets as The New York Times, Rolling Stone and HBO. As I’ve mentioned before, I have a lack of talent for creating visual art; this means that people who can do it are much more talented than me at creative things, so go listen to them! Tickets cost $300.

Phoenix Convention Center

If you like animals at all, then come here. If you don’t like animals, you have no soul. This convention features everything pet-related, be it products or services, shows like dogs catching discs, and a lot more. Cosplay for both people and pets are highly encouraged. There will even be goat yoga, which looks weird to me, but is probably relaxing. Tickets cost $10.
