Phoenix Art Museum. The Phoenix Art Museum is the Southwest United States' largest art museum for visual art.
Located in Phoenix, Arizona, the museum is 285,000-square-foot. It displays international exhibitions alongside its comprehensive collection of more than 18,000 works of American, Asian, European, Latin American, Western American, modern and contemporary art, and fashion design.
A community center since 1959, it hosts year-round programs of festivals, live performances, independent art films and educational programs. It also features The Hub: The James K. Ballinger Interactive Gallery, an interactive space for children; photography exhibitions through the museum's partnership with the Center for Creative Photography; the landscaped Sculpture Garden; dining at Palette, and shopping at The Museum Store.
It has been designated a Phoenix Point of Pride. Opened in 1959, the Phoenix Art Museum is located on the Central Avenue Corridor.
Shortly after Arizona became the 48th state in 1912, the Phoenix Women's Club was formed and worked with the Arizona State Fair Committee to develop a fine arts program. In 1915, the club purchased Carl Oscar Borg's painting Egyptian Evening for US $125 and presented it to the city of Phoenix to begin a community art collection. In 1925, the State Fair Committee expanded its community responsibilities and formed the Phoenix Fine Arts Association. The next major ad
