Did a reading at this gallery last night and really loved the space. Great visual art on the walls,…read moreespecially the landscapes by Joshua Dean Wiley, they really grabbed me, The gallery had a really nice, open, and welcoming feel. They are also well set up to provide good and drinks. The staff seemed really friendly and stoked to host us. I gather the space is also available to rent for both public and private gatherings. I don't know the exact history of the ownership of the place but I hear it's a pretty good story. There were 40+/- people there last night, all seated, and the space felt full but not crowded. If you are down on Grand Ave. for sure go check out the art and if you are looking for a space for a small event or party I would for sure consider this place.

Great space. They always feature an eclectic variety of artists that feature many different media…read moretypes. Thanks for keeping our neighborhood a vibrant part of First Friday.

Let me say this, I have lived in the Valley all my life. Yes, I am a full fledged native. The City…read moreof Chandler has rapidly grown over the years and this was my first visit to Chandler Center For The Arts. On this Saturday night the artist performing was Pat Metheney. At the onset before the performance we were told that this would be the last concert of the season. The Chandler Center is going to get a renovation and probably will not be open until late October or early November. This Center houses a large venue and on this Saturday night it was pretty much a sold out crowd. When Pat Metheney came out he didn't waste any time and just started playing. The crowd was really into the music and so was I. The place has provisions for the handicapped and does allow for drinks during the performance. I really don't know what else to add other than the place is impressive. When it opens up again in the Autumn maybe take a look at what they have in the concert venue. I guess we got lucky to attend their last concert of the season.

As the self-appointed king of events, I'm back at it with another venue review. I have been to the…read moreChandler Center For The Arts twice: once for a UB40 concert and once for a screening of a Louie Armstrong documentary (live jazz ensemble included). Located in a nice part of Chandler, with lots of cool bars and restaurants within the vicinity, they do have a complimentary parking lot. For one of the events, I was able to find a spot without much trouble. For the other, I had to park on the street a few minutes away by foot. I guess it depends on how popular the event is. The venue itself is beautiful. Clean and modern with nice amenities. You get a program once you enter the theater, which I always appreciate. It's a good size-venue, but still small enough that it's intimate. My only real complaint? The seats are packed pretty close to each other, so you don't much shoulder room or leg room. A little too snug. Outside of that, and parking being a bit of a wild card, it's a phenomenal venue.

The parking was easy as there is a garage nearby and the staff at Tempe Center for the Arts were happy to validate the parking voucher to waive the fee. The sound was great and we thought the seats were very comfortable. We would definitely return to Tempe Center for the Arts for future performances or events.

As the self-appointed king of events in Phoenix, I've been to pretty much every major event venue…read morein Phoenix and surrounding areas over the past 10 months. And it's safe to say that Tempe Center for the Arts is one of my favorites. First off, you can either park in the parking garage a few minutes away from the venue by foot or you can park in the gravel lot that is a minute or two farther away. If you park in the garage, they will validate your ticket. Guaranteed parking is always a big win in my book. I've been to the Tempe Center for the Arts (TCFTA) twice. Once for a concert and once for a play put on by the Arizona Theater Company. Both have been A+ experiences. First off, the venue is located right by Tempe Towne Lake which makes for a picturesque location. The venue itself is just as beautiful with stunning architecture, both inside and out. It's clean. It's comfortable. The ushers are friendly. There is plenty of seating to hang out outside before the show, during intermission, or after. You can also hang out on the patio where there's a fire pit and seating. On a certain day of the week that's escaping me, they do an open mic night out there. I haven't tried any of the concessions, but they have a bar and some snacks. There's complimentary water. The theater is pretty intimate which makes for a better experience. It's designed well. There are even often some art installations you can check out. Overall, you can't ask for much better than this when it comes to an event experience! I've become a season ticket holder of the Arizona Theater Company, so I can't wait to be back!

We are in the Bentley Gallery mailing list. They had an art reception for several artists…read more The gallery is a small contemporary art gallery. The works did not compete with each other. The gallery staff asked if we noticed what was above the gallery. We didn't notice but staff told us they were shipping containers turned Air BNBs. Cool idea. Metered street parking and some free parking.

We had absolutely no idea this place existed despite being in the Phoenix area for 40+ years…read more Bentley herself was there, as well as another very kind docent. We got to see the last day of the Deborah Sperber (check her work out!) exhibit and it was wonderful. I could not believe how talented the artist was and the space in general is gorgeous. We were lucky enough to score a parking spot right out front. The gallery is quaint, so I would expect to spend 30ish minutes inside. We will be visiting again soon!

Located in the Basha Grocery HQ Building that is kinda run of the mill grocery warehouse looking structure, the art collection is simply amazing.

Yes, the Basha family not only collected all of these beautiful pieces, but they curated them into an extremely well-done museum space and decided to share this wonderful western history with the Arizona community. It's a small museum but they have done a great job of labeling each piece and making the space inviting. How generous and kind of Eddie Basha and his family! To know that Eddie had a close relationship with many of the artists makes it even more special.
