Though many people are surprised to learn it, Downtown Mesa is a great place to find unique, and always changing sculptures by a number of artists. See animals, figures and abstract works in an ongoing outdoor display. Get up close to the art or discover more about the Current Mesa Sculpture Show on the website.
From Galleries to Art Museums, you can take lessons, see what’s new or purchase original works in Mesa’s thriving downtown. Catch a live show, watch an artist’s demonstration or take a peek at a cartoon-themed exhibit at the Mesa Arts Center. Buy prints or originals at the Wind Up Gallery or the OneOhOne.
Interesting new restaurants and unique stores offer visitors plenty of chances for fine dining and shopping. Let the chef surprise you at Bak’d, an eatery that requires reservations at least 24-hours in advance. Or get a home-style meal just like mama used to make at Grandma’s Kitchen, a café on Robson.
Beyond the galleries and art, shoppers can explore antiques and gift shops, too. Arizona antiquers will want to look into History By George or St. James Bay Tool Company. Specialty shops also line Main Street and you can find help making the perfect thank you cards at M and Co. Papery, flowers at Zuzu’s Petals or the guitar you’ve always dreamed of in Milano Music.
