Mesa Arts Center, Arts center and museum in Mesa, United States
Mesa Arts Center is a large cultural complex featuring four performance theaters, dedicated studio spaces for artists, and exhibition galleries. The spaces are arranged so you can move freely between shows, exhibitions, and working studios throughout the complex.
The center opened in the early 2000s as a major downtown revitalization project for Mesa. Its creation helped bring new life to the city center and established Mesa as an important cultural hub in Arizona.
Multiple arts organizations call this place home and share their work with visitors regularly. You can watch different artistic disciplines being practiced and performed throughout the complex.
The art museum galleries offer free admission Tuesday through Saturday with rotating exhibitions. Keep in mind that theater performances require separate tickets and workshops may need advance registration.
The center houses fourteen specialized studios where visitors can join workshops in activities from acting to glassblowing. This hands-on participation sets it apart from typical museum experiences.
