Mesa Arts Center Named Arts Organization of the Year

​

According to Steve Carr of The Kur Carr Group, Inc, the nominee list included 14 other Arizona-based arts organizations, including Arizona Theatre Company, Children's Museum of Phoenix, Herberger Theatre Center, and Rosie's House.

A&BC states that the Mesa Arts Center displayed excellence when it "launched four major initiatives to expand the reach of arts and culture in its community." These included the ongoing art-centric MACFEST event and the Mesa Bucks program, which gives shoppers discounted admission to Mesa-area arts and cultural events.

The 210,000-square foot MAC, opened since 2005, offers a year round schedule of art exhibits, concerts, and theater events.
