Visit Free to See

We are your Museum. We are open for everyone.

For six decades, Phoenix Art Museum has opened its doors for our community to see art and experience some of the most remarkable cultural events in the Valley. To show our appreciation for the community that has fostered our growth for nearly a century, we offer a number of reduced or free admission opportunities for all people to enjoy.

We are your Museum. We are open for everyone.

Pay-What-You-Wish Wednesdays are made possible by SRP and City of Phoenix.

Phoenix Art Museum has ceased monthly First Fridays after more than a decade of engagement in order to launch two new quarterly free-access programs (PhxArt AfterHours and PhxArt Family Fundays). These programs offer expanded arts-engagement programming and entertainment opportunities.
Effective January 1, 2023, general operating hours on the first Friday of each month will shift to 10 am – 5 pm, except for dates when the Museum will host our AfterHours events.
