Mesa Contemporary Arts

This year, Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum will suspend its Annual 10 x 10 Benefit Show to offer a special opportunity in celebration of the Valley Metro Light Rail expansion to the Mesa Arts Center! Artists from Arizona and beyond are invited to create an original work of art using Valley Metro passes. The completed pieces will be on display at MCA Museum from October 6th through 15th and then sold at the sale on October 10th for $50 each. All proceeds benefit Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum exhibition and educational programs.

Thank you to Valley Metro for their support and collaboration on this exciting project!
