Virtual Art Tour: Not getting to Denmark this summer? Fortunately, a piece of it is coming to the Valley, in the form of Scottsdale Artists’ School’s Summer Art Lectures. Anthropologist Per Schelde will lead the July 16 “tour” of Danish islands and artwork, while the August 13 lecture will explore the chalk hills of Normandy and the region’s famed Impressionists. $10. scottsdaleartschool.org
Surf ‘n’ Scarf: Want to finally learn to surf this summer?
