  Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum Kicks off the New Season

  Saturday, September 9, 2017 at 10:31 a.m.

  Ever since the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum partnered up with Los Angeles' ThinkSpace Gallery their art shows have been the best in the valley. They've topped all of that with their newest art exhibitions, which include “Slang Aesthetics!" by Robert Williams, the creator of Juxtapoz Magazine and the father of lowbrow art. The man himself was present to sign copies of his book, which was provided by Lulubell Toy Bodega, who had plenty of designer toys to enjoy. Mesa threw a grand festival called The Good, The Bad, and The Weird to kickoff the season with food trucks, entertainment, art class demos, and even a performance by the Mexican Elvis, El Vez!

  Paintings, Sculptures, and Crystals Shine at April's Third Friday

  Saturday, April 22, 2017 at 10:11 a.m.

  Third Friday is truly about the art — no hordes of people, no loud performances on every corner. These more intimate openings are great for meeting the artists and discussing their works over hors d'oeuvres and wine. Lighting was a recurring theme, popping up at Daniel Funkhouser's installation, with Zach Valent's crystals, and in Joshua Dean Wiley's paintings. This month's Third Friday was especially special with the opening reception and party for JJ Horner's "Pattern Recognition" at Megaphone PHX. Photos by Mello.
