My family and I went to the pumpkin scavenger hunt and we had the BEST time!! We absolutely LOVED it and my 3 year old was engaged in the activity the WHOLE time!! (If you have a 3 year old you know how difficult this can be). Thank you Mesa Art Centers

This area was beautiful to walk around during the pumpkin art scavenger show! The weather was gorgeous and area had wonderful little shops to go in and support.

Always a pleasant, calming and enthusiastic place. The people are lovely that work there and the customers too. You can find interesting classes, art and much more....

Good energy at this creative center! Would love to see a show there sooner than later... outdoor interactive art piece is fun to play on.

What a great little museum! Especially when the admission price is free. The woman who greeted us was very friendly and helpful and the exhibits were very very interesting. Highly recommend!

I love mesa arts downtown ! Especially around this time when they have all the A

Glad to see life there again. Need t o stop by and see if the concert from July will be rescheduled or refunded...great place to walk around and let your imagination have fun.

Incredible theatre to see an event. They have a nice little concession stand as well. The seats were comfortable and from what we could tell there was not a bad seat in the house. We saw the Salt River Band and the music was very true and the the ambiance was terrific! It’s also in a nice redone area of downtown Mesa.

Beautiful building and very helpful volunteers! It was my first time attending a concert there so I didnt know what to expect. Parking was a bit tricky because I didnt have cash so I ended up walking quite a bit which was fine. I really enjoyed to concert and the sound was wonderful!

Beautiful place for photography, enjoying the arts, and its great to take a walk here!

Mesa Arts Center is always a fun and more intimate setting for shows. The newer venue makes it convenient and accessible.We just went to the OK-GO show recently.Show was great, very entertaining and interactive. There was a point during the show that was especially interactive - audience participation requested!Pics are from the merch table and one of their more well-known songs, Here It Goes Again.Definitely recommend the show and MAC.

Very cool place. But its mostly closed . Due to Covid-19

Its nice peaceful and quiet. The art can be viewed through the window.

My home town and great area to take photos

Love there events they always do a awsome job!!

We always stop in and enjoy the grass when we are walking mesa

Beautiful center. Parking was confusing as they had the lots closed off with cones. After circling the block three times I finally had to ask a police officer where to go and thankfully they opened the cones and allowed me to park. I wouldnt have figured it out on my own.

Attended a concert by Simply Three. They were awesome. What a great venue. Very comfortable.

This place is so cool. Its the first time ive been there and i loved it. They were having the fall festival and they had music and dancers and food and animals and art demonstrations. It was a great time. Lots of things for the kiddos to do.

It was really interesting very entertaining. There was some really interesting and Innovative artists theyre like the one in the picture and then there was really weird and strange art that was kind of freaky. I didnt like that part that much, but they had a decent mixture and it really is free

Beautiful, modern, and intimate venue! Conveniently located and decent parking available. Great place to see your favorite artists because there are no bad seats! Will definitely return.

Went to the MCA with the family. It was free but a complete waste of time on a Sunday afternoon. 3 stars because some of the Artwork was cool. Done in like 10 minutes.

I love this place! Ive been for a comedy show & their production of In The Heights. Both AMAZING. Staff are so nice and helpful. The actors are professional, talented and a treat to meet & greet after shows. Website is easy to use. I might get the season tickets for this fall.

Free admission. Great local artists and the exhibits all did a great job of bringing your emotions. Love the pinata exhibit the most. Will come back!

My son has taken some classes here and really enjoyed it. The art and culture are great. I love the free exhibits. If you are a photographer there are many interesting subjects to photograph in grounds, and this would be a great place for interesting backgrounds to portraits. If you havent checked out the Mesa Arts Center, you are missing out.

Nice facility with small and larger venues for performances. They have adequate dressing rooms. There is also a facility for a variety of art classes. Summer includes an art camp for children off from school. The art museum is small and not always suitable for children due to content of some art. Gift shop is nice. There is a nice water feature great as a photo opportunity.

Amazing choir & orchestra performance by MCO is worth at least 5 STARS. I love the environment in this beautiful building and the sound is worth coming back each year.The ordering of the tickets for MCO performance is really slow over the phone. Getting hung up on after a really long wait is normal. They fixed their online Ordering experience to only take 3 minutes and it was a dream compared to the past.Definitely going back each year!

This was the first time out to the Mesa Arts Center and it is quite the impressive complex. I will say that the venue organization for this particular event - Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Beth Hart Band, seemed a little awkward as far as the opening of the doors and entry to the theatre. The wait was until just a few minutes before the show was supposed to start before they started allowing patrons into the theater. My seat was in the Balcony row B seat 46, which left me with a view of about 2/3 of the stage unless I stood up - which in turn impeded other’s view. The sound system and acoustics was excellent. There is parking on site in a lot and covered garage along with nearby parking on the neighboring streets in the downtown area. There are a few eateries and watering holes within walking distance for before or after a concert as well for those traveling from out of town.

It’s a nice modern center for the arts. It is a beacon of hope for downtown Mesa. Still does not quite have the big appeal that is needed to sustain 7 days a week but still a nice center for art.

A very nice, modern venue w several theaters all interconnected into a single building. We liked the set up and were glad the bathroom availability was adequate.

The Mesa arts center is a neat place to walk around, but definitely make sure to stop in the art gallery to take a peek at what local artists have on display. The exhibits were interesting and thought provoking leaning toward political statements. The staff on hand was very helpful and welcoming. My only complaint is that I wished that it would never end! Very pleasant visit.

My mother and I had an amazing night at IL VOLO CONCERT 3/1/2020 very friendly staff!!

I love the fun things at the Mesa Arts Center, including the ceramics and glass classes and the festivals. Its a blast to play in the stream, and I love looking at the interesting art fixtures. Its amazing that the MAC provides a place for all sorts of preforming groups to preform.

It’s a beautiful place with a pretty campus.

Good venue. Seating is staggered so you can see pretty good wherever you seat. The thing that wasnt good is if youre seating with a railing in front of you - its about the same height as your eyes as you sit back so, you have to sit leaning forward or at the edge of your seat to see good. Acoustics are great. Ive sat down front 3rd row and another time up in the balcony - sound was good everywhere. Comfortable seats but, up in balcony (in your row) you have to stand whenever someone is coming or going from their seat, the walkway is tight.

This is the best place in Phoenix to see a concert! At only 1,600 seats everyone has a great view, and the acoustics are perfect. We saw Dennis DeYoung and the vocals sounded amazing. Two weeks later we saw Dream Theater and the super heavy guitars and drums sounded awesome then too.Parking is convenient in the garage next door. They offer refreshments including adult beverages, and the ladies rooms were clean and without a line. This just makes the whole event experience that much more enjoyable, and the ease in which we were able to get out to our car and on the road is another reason we love this venue.

The sound in the ikeda theater is amazing. The staff is friendly.

The IKEA Theater is one of the finest venues I have ever seen a performance in. It is a beautiful Theater with comfortable spacious seating. There is not a bad seat in the house. We sat in the upper balcony and had no problem seeing or hearing Paul Anka the guest artist.

Watched an awesome play for my daughters 6th grade field trip today. It was pretty awesome. The entire class was laughing and really into the play. Will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful architecture and surrounding. Lovely annual art show.

Have never actually been INSIDE. The four star rating is inaccurate because I lack enough info to fairly rate it. I do know they have some very very cool events though. They had a festival about a month ago. A prototype festival. All kinds of really cool things all along Main St. It was great...so close to home, free & something to take my daughter to that kept us occupied for a few hours.

This is an outstanding venue. The acoustics are outstanding, while the design assures that there isnt a seat with anything but a great view. Highly recommended for concerts and plays.

Had an amazing night last night having the privilege of seeing David Byrne (Talking Heads) in his utopia tour. The sound in this place is always well produced and mixed but last night I admit it was a bit muddy. Regardless, the MAC is just the perfect venue. Its well directed (people everywhere helping you) and well serviced. Its clean, beautiful, artistic, and well designed. The parking - cake and cheap. The bar and drinks are high-end, well poured, and you can bring them into the theatre. The inside theatre itself is stunning and I caught myself just looking up and around at times. Bathrooms are spotless and never crowded. A place like this can anchor a whole community and you can already see the impact in the stores and shops around it. It feels safe, clean, and classy. I cant imagine the cost of a place like this nor how it was funded - I probably dont want to know. I will say that regardless the cost, it is spectacular and a perfect place to see a show.

Awesome community art classes! Try the flame working class with instructor Josh P.

I go for the free concerts put on by the Arts Center. They run from November to March every Thursday starts at 1230. They are mostly tribute shows but some are great. Check on Google for out to lunch at Mesa Art center great shows

Attended Grand Illusions Concert Tour with Dennis De Young of Styx. The Mesa Arts Center was an ideal and personable venue for this performance.

This is a nice venue to see an orchestra. The sound is nice but the seats are pretty tight and a little uncomfortable especially for a long period of time.

Went to Mesa for the Fantastic Planet opening. The plaza was filled with comtempory dancers, fire dancers and other performance artists. It was a beautiful plaza with sculptures and water features.

What a great venue and the seats were amazing. The sound is great as well. I hope to see more shows here.

Lovely architecture. theater was clean and nice. However, the location map is extremely confusing. Names of theaters on tickets do not match with names listed on location map. So of course if you cant find the theater, well thats just not great.

Love this area!! So much to look at & absolutely beautiful!

-Kevin O Leary show, and expensive food!-When visiting here for the second time since I moved here (to Arizona), I wasnt expecting an auditorium quite like this. It was very large, and could fit enough fans of Shark Tanks Kevin O Leary comfortably.The event itself was meh, they had a few paid promotions for real estate, and stock trading, but seems the most anticipated event was Kevins story. He was raised to a working class family, and learned the value of money through a series of hard knocks.While the event itself was ok, and the auditorium amazing, I cant believe the food prices! 12$ for a hot dog, 6 nuggets, and a drink! I felt like I was at the re- release of Marvels Endgame. I had to fork over my money, due to not wanting to miss Kevin.Great venue, unexpected prices on food; yet to be fair I shouldve expected as much... 4 stars!

Taking a Beginning Pottery class, my second class at Mesa Arts Center. The staff/instructors are always super helpful and accommodating, and the other students/patrons are always willing to jump in and give advice and help too. Ill be taking another class here for sure.

Amazing performances, Easy access and very helpful staff, plenty of free safety parking.

Ive been to this venue for a couple times this year to attend either concerts that my son had with his school. Also I attended a choir concert that my daughter was in with her school too. The center is situated in downtown Mesa and is very nice. The architecture is beautiful and overall very pleasing to the eye. The center inside beautiful and very clean. Its very well kept. There are many concerts and events that happen all throughout the year.

I can tell you only of the free concert on Thurs. Noon.12:30. A variety of music, unfortunately today was the second last concert. Next week March 12th Thursday music of the Eagles will be featured. Come early plenty of free seats.

Baby Shark Live! I had never been to Mesa Arts Center before. It was just myself and my almost 2 year old. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Our seats were fantastic. My son had an unobstructed view of the show and the area where our seats were had no one to either side of us, nor in front. They were perfect seats for us. There was a small fee for parking but that was ok. I expected that. Parking is located right near the MAC. I experienced nothing but a great time with my little one.

Professional and friendly staff. Building was easy to find(my first visit)and very easy to maneuver around. Nice bar.

Arrived at my drawing class (portraits) and spotted a butterfly on my way in and the class was amazing! The teacher for me was is very welcoming and taught me how to draw something I was never able to. Would definitely reccomend doing summer classes/workshops here.

Admission is free which is always nice!The art they had on display was really creative and cool to look at. Check it out if your in the area

All the shows and exhibits that I have seen here were top notch and high quality. On top of that there are many little activities outside the facility that will keep the little ones busy and happy. I would recommend all to take in a show if in town. A fun free museum to visit when youre visiting downtown Mesa. Exhibits change so look on their site to see what they are showing. Reserve an hour or two to browse the art. Plenty of street parking as well as cafés to grab a bite.

We got to see The Fab Four! The customer service was amazing! Everyone is extreamly nice! Great venue and experience!!

Love this little art gallery store on the Mesa Art Center Campus. It is quite small, but packed with a variety of local artists work. I was there shortly before the Holidays and found gifts for family that I didnt even know I wanted. Plus, there were a number of unique pieces that would be perfect on my mantel. A perfect place to shop for that unique one-of-a-kind, didnt-know-I-needed-it pieces . . . but, happy-I-have-it-now! The Store. You must check it out. On Main Street in Mesa.

Great place for events. Tickets are affordable and theatres are nice. Parking is easy and the venue is easy to get to from the East valley. They often have free outdoor art exhibits which are really worth seeing. We went to the Spark! Event and it was amazing. Also saw Jake Shimabokuro in concert and an off Broadway show. Looking forward to the next visit.

The Glass fusing classes with Troy Moody are always interesting, creative, and informative. I highly recommend him as a teacher if you are interested in discovering what glass fusing art is all about.

Very nice venue. Saw the Phoenix symphony play and the auditorium was clean, sound was wonderful. The only thing that would need improvement are the signs that are permanent, routed to the wrong box office to pick up tickets. The staff was nice to direct us to the auditorium where the performance was at but it made for a confusing arrival. They had a snack bar with beer and wine with other items such as sodas, chips, and candy available at intermission.

Nice that it is free. They do have a donation box.

I attended the Itzhak Perlman event with my mother at the Mesa Arts Center. The venue is beautiful, has some amenities that are disabled-friendly, and lots of friendly staff. The pathway to our seat was quite narrow and a little uncomfortable to navigate, but everyone was gracious making room for us. I could not get into the parking garage and ended up parking on the street two blocks away. I arrived with 20 minutes to spare but perhaps allow yourself more time if you need to park closer.

Lila Downs is top notch, first class! Her voice is unbelievable...her explanations of her show, the songs she sings were amazing!Unfortunately I couldn’t hear all her words because of a few loud rude people who were shouting as she was talking to the audience...This venue is excellent!

The facility was clean the staff was friendly and we got free parking close by. We were on the balcony 1 Row from the back and the view was still excellent.

Its awesome n if you in mesa check what live show they have .

Nice venue. Both small and large theaters. Seats are decent. Nice variety of shows, concerts, presentations, etc. Conveniently located in the downtown area of Mesa offering a nice selection of local eateries.

Enjoyed air Supply. Great venue. Smaller room so you have great view & not overly crowded. Fun!

Great show.. we went for my daughters 6th grade field trip and it was awesome, the play had everyones attention and make us laugh. The cast was amazing.

Fun place for art classes and festivities. Live performances and interactive arts. Very popular for Spark After Dark.

Really good events venue. Attended the Indian rhythm maestro Ustad. Zakhir Hussains Tabla concert here. Great usher staff and good restrooms. Also serves drinks and snacks.

This Mesa art place its amazing, I am blessed to live in Arizona and get to see all these amazing places and Mesa Art Center is one of them, there is no charge to get into the art gallery its a plus bonus, the paintings are beautiful and big, there is talent in Mesa, Arizona.

Went to a concert there to cross off a bucket list item and there was not a bad seat in the house all their staff was friendly and outgoing and so helpful highly recommend this venue for anybody wanting to see a concert

Fabulous venue in the grand tradition and modern at the same time. Great acoustics and good visability. Itzhak Perlman concert was a spectacular event!

Did some work there. Security was top notch. Nice clean place to spend time. Facilities for employees are also top notch clean and organized. I would enjoy working there again.

Great Bands here! Free tickets every now and then!!

Nice place when it is open.

I saw in the Heights and The Encore Theater group did an excellent job. As always the facilities are spotless the volunteer Ushers are courteous and polite. They are ready to answer any question a patron might have. The drinks are a little pricey but thats the usual. All in all a great night out.

The detail and juxtaposition in materials is so visually simulating! If you can see a show here, dont miss it.I work in videography and the back stage address ate extremely clean and organized. I would say its one of the best in Arizona. Also the security backstage is higher than any other performance hall or theater Ive been to.

Arrived to the Il Volo concert which was amazing!!!! All information and tickets had an 8pm start time however, upon arrival, we were told No one called you? The concert started at 7:30pm This was extremely disappointing. Although we had a wonderful time, I wish they would have provided some customer service and notified us so we couldve enjoyed to the fullest.

Gorgeous place and great location. Awesome caustics but the sub woofers have some buzzing. Had a great time at my grand daughters recital. Cant wait for the next one. Loved it.

Small yet beautiful collection of exhibits.

The acoustics and seating is fabulous! There isnt a bad seat in the house ♡

The play about area 51 was awesome. Great work on the choreography and the teamwork was amazing.

Customer service beyond any experience I have ever had. Fantastic people work there

You gotta check out the Mesa Arts Center. You can do all sorts of things. There is a lot going on. You can watch live performances and there are a lot of events that go on. The architecture of the place is really cool and you can feel it lighting muses. The art on display here is great as well.

Pretty great night of performance art here in Mesa.

Art affectionados and those of us less informed all appreciated and loved this place. We even met one of the artists working while she gave us helpful hints and some helpful information about the Center.

I love to take classes here, attend family friendly festivals, and enjoy the arts that Arizona provides. Its a beautiful place and the classes are phenomenal.

Excellent free entertainment Thursdays 12:30-1:30. Live music of various types. Also theatre shows nightly several days a month.

It’s a beautiful, well kept and maintained Mecca of the arts. Wish we had something like this in Phoenix.

Great place to take industrial/modern family pictures. The area is very clean and there is plenty of shade. The parking is also very close and easy to walk to.

Mesa Arts Center always has something different happening! Everyone can find activities to enjoy.

Great acoustics for a concert. Cant wait for the next one!

Great experience at a recent concert (Home Free). Great sound and cozy atmosphere. Would have been perfect if an usher or security would have removed the drunk lady that kept yelling Minnesota... it was like a junior high girl that wants to be the center of attention and ignoring the problem didn’t work. It ruined the audience participation / interaction portion of the concert.
