The downtown Phoenix art scene has developed in the past decade. The Artlink organization and the galleries downtown have launched a [[First Friday (public event)|First Friday]] cross-Phoenix gallery opening.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/arts/2018/03/11/art-detour-30-5-pioneers-who-built-downtown-phoenix-studio-scene/408866002/|title=Art Detour at 30: 5 pioneers who built the downtown Phoenix studio scene|website=The Arizona Republic|language=en|access-date=February 28, 2019}}</ref> In April 2009, artist [[Janet Echelman]] inaugurated her monumental sculpture, ''[[Her Secret Is Patience]]'', a civic icon suspended above the new [[Phoenix Civic Space Park]], a two-city-block park in the middle of downtown. This netted sculpture makes the invisible patterns of desert wind visible. During the day, the {{convert|100|ft|m|adj=on}}-tall sculpture hovers high above heads, treetops, and buildings, creating what the artist calls "shadow drawings", which she says are inspired by Phoenix's cloud shadows. At night, the illumination changes color gradually through the seasons. Author Prof. Patrick Frank writes of the sculpture that "...this unique visual delight will forever mark the city of Phoenix just as the Eiffel Tower marks Paris."<ref name='Prebles'>{{cite book |last=Frank |first=Patrick |title=Prebles' Artformes |publisher=[[Prentice Hall]] |year=2011 |isbn=978-0-205-79753-0}}</ref>
