It's free but donations are welcomed. Lots of cool artwork. The receptionist mentioned that they rotate so it's always something different

Housed in the massive and impressive postmodern 210k square foot complex, the free to visit Mesa Arts Center is home to a humongous exhibit space, five art galleries and a fascinating array of multi-use areas as well as quite a few studio classrooms. These studios where the Arizona Clay Association who welcome students, hobbyists, professionals or even the community to be involved in educational meetings, ceramics training – a fascinating endeavor around since 1967! But that’s not all, we went for an incredible showing of ‘American Glass Now: 2025’, an exhibition of some incredible ceramic and glass artists. Unique art works, styles, philosophies’ and types. A really amazing show (see my pics). Many are beyond words to describe and must be seen to appreciate. The Mesa Contemporary Art Museum is one of those venues in the Valley we frequent often for their unique, beautiful and exquisite presentations… kudos to the staff and volunteers for doing a marvelous job. We never tire of visiting you guys and being constantly amazed and educated.

I absolutely loved this museum! I didn’t expect such a well-curated and interesting place to be free. There was a dedicated section featuring a glassmaking artist demonstrating the craft, which I sadly missed. The staff, especially the lady at the desk, was very friendly.

For those fond of fiber arts, this exhibition is a must-see. It features astounding creations from a variety of artists, including quilts, garments, and felted items. You're even encouraged to lightly touch and embrace the large hanging felt pieces, provided your hands are clean. It's worth a visit given its free entry. There's complimentary street and lot parking, and the museum offers WiFi.
