Arizona State University Art Museum, University art museum in Tempe, United States.

The Arizona State University Art Museum is an art museum in Tempe that displays contemporary work by local, national, and international artists. Exhibition spaces spread across multiple areas where painting, photography, sculpture, and digital media sit alongside each other.

In 1950 Phoenix lawyer Oliver B. James gave Arizona State University 16 oil paintings by American artists, a gift that grew to over 149 works and founded the collection. It was first kept in the Matthews Library, built in 1930 and remodelled in 1951. Rudy Turk served as founding director from 1967 to 1992, and in 1989 the museum moved into the new Nelson Fine Arts Center designed by Antoine Predock.

The space showcases work that engages with current social topics and gives emerging artists a place to show their work. Exhibitions bring together different art forms and create a dialogue between established and new artistic voices.

The museum occupies two sites: the main galleries in the Nelson Fine Arts Center on the Tempe campus, and the Ceramics Research Center at 7th Street and Mill Avenue in the Brickyard Engineering Building. Admission is free, and reserved spaces directly in front of the main museum are free; parking at the Brickyard is metered.

The museum's Latin American core came with Oliver B. James's 1950 gift and includes prints by Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Rufino Tamayo. Later acquisitions added works by José Guadalupe Posada and members of the Taller de Gráfica Popular. Cuban contemporary art, including pieces by Kcho and Tonel, forms another part of the holdings.
