About Mesa Arts Center

Mesa Arts Complex, located in downtown Mesa at the corner of Central and Main, is the largest arts center in the state of AZ. And it's a really great place to take pictures


Unique Design Features:

Environment: A unique and inviting oasis by day, and a transparent and luminous beacon at night, with an image both classic and forward-thinking

Design Concept: Inspired by and reflects the unique character of the Sonoran Desert: a rich desert, mountain and canyon environment
Architectural Features: Jagged angles, canted walls, sloping roofs, glass walls, regional colors and materials

Outdoor Features: A terraced, desert oasis with a graceful arc of trees, exotic gardens, a running arroyo and other water features, abundant shade from giant canopies, and glass pergolas that cast colorful shadows on the walkways

Public Art: Lobby shade screens that shimmer like water and reflect swirling desert sand dunes (Artist Ned Kahn); Colored glass panels inspired by sunset-colored storm clouds on a bridged walkway (Artist Beth Galston); Silver lobby floor medallions that dissolve with changing light (Artist Catherine Widgery)
