Martha Shemer bought a mission-style house and three acres and founded the center in 1984, donating the property to the City of Phoenix for art education. Budget constraints nearly closed it in 2010, prompting citizens to form the Shemer Art Center and Museum Association to manage and preserve the facility.

The center is named after Martha Shemer, who bought the mission-style house and three acres in 1984 and gave the property to Phoenix for art education. When budget cuts nearly closed it in 2010, citizens formed the Shemer Art Center and Museum Association to manage and keep the facility open.

The location sits on Phoenix grounds with parking available on the property for visitors to use. You can visit in the morning or early afternoon to walk through the indoor galleries and explore the outdoor garden areas at your own pace.

The center is listed as one of the Phoenix Points of Pride, a city program recognizing landmarks and institutions. Martha Shemer bought the house and three acres in 1984 specifically to give the property to Phoenix for art education rather than to keep it.
