ASU Art Museum

The ASU Art Museum is free to the public and open Wednesday thru Sunday. Parking is complimentary right in front of the museum at the Southeast corner of Mill and 10th St.The building itself is just as intriguing and unique as the art. Check in at the front desk for a paper guide, snacks, and a few souvenirs. Check out their website to see which exhibits are currently up and any special events. The museum has a cool moody vibe, and the different exhibits were interesting. The U-shape of the building makes it an easy wall to not miss anything. We turned it into a date day by walking the museum, then checking out campus shops, and finishing with a cocktail in a rooftop bar overlooking the city.

I visited this museum on Friday last week. There are different exhibits in different rooms, so they vary, but overall I wasn't impressed. The ceramics annex, which I've reviewed separately, was better. Nothing here left much of an impression on me.

The architecture of the building is the best part of the whole museum. The exhibits are small and sparse and 2 of the 6 rooms were closed. Don't go out of your way to make the visit.

Attended the opening of "Sarah Zapata: Beneath the breath of the sun". 1 room featured her newly created works completed during the artist's residency with CALA Alliance in Fall 2023. Sarah Zapata employs weaving, tufting and traditional craft techniques to create loud, architecturally responsive installations that traverse themes of gender, colonialism and fantasy. Parking: Parking options include paid parking such as Mill Avenue Parking Structure (Lot 20), Tenth Street Parking Garage and paid meters around Tempe campus. We paid $8.00 for 2 hours of garage parking.

Went to the ASU art museum for opening night of the George Floyd art exhibition. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There was a mocktail bar, DJ, and Mexican themed food. The exhibit is more of an anthropology exhibit. The curator took signs and posters from the protests regarding Floyd's murder and created a living monument. I thought it was tasteful and a tribute to the people who marched against injustice.

Not a bad way to spend 45 minutes. Small but interesting exhibit. Free parking. Pro tip: Park and you can wander campus for two hours. That's how long free parking is good for.

The building itself is a uniquely designed, brutalist structure, but the contents inside are a bit disappointing. The two staff members at the entrance were very polite, but it's currently just 3 small exhibits. One very small room on the bottom floor focusing on Japanese pottery, and the 2nd and 3rd floor are dedicated to a Lucha Libre exhibit; however it's sparse with little historical information about the Luchas.Parking is free (they validate), but I honestly would not recommend visiting given the small amount of exhibits to see. They are working on 3 out of the 6 exhibit areas so perhaps in the future it will be more enjoyable, but currently is is not.

I used to stop by here a lot when I was a student at ASU in between classes. I've been to many art galleries here in the Valley and this one is one of my favorites. The staff is always welcoming and it is free to get in. ASU Art Museum focuses as contemporary art, ceramics and prints. You will see some of the art that has some southwestern influences too. ASU Art Museum is located right next to Gammage Theater off of Mill Ave. I personally enjoy coming on opening reception nights. It doesn't get too packed and many staff members (and sometimes the artists themselves) are on hand to answer questions. The staff here do such a good job of curating these exhibits. They change quite frequently which keeps me coming back. I recently saw the "Undoing Time: Art and Histories of Incarceration" exhibit and thought they did an excellent job putting it together.

The museum is free and has a small adjacent parking lot. At least when we went, the focus seemed to be much more on politics than on art itself. You should probably check the website before you go and see if the exhibits are something that interest you.No one in our group was impressed.

Super cute place! Unfortunately most of the exhibits were closed but we got to take the 1pm print room tour! I totally recommend!We even got to make our own prints!Also the museum is free!
