Phoenix Art Museum company history timeline

1959

A community center since 1959, it hosts festivals, live performances, independent art films and educational programs year-round.

Opened in 1959, the Phoenix Art Museum is located on the Central Avenue Corridor.

1965

As the city’s population grows to more than 513,000, the Art Center at 45 East Coronado is razed to make way for the new east wing, with a planned completion date of November 1965.

1988

The Ullman Gallery, featuring the art of Philip C. Curtis and made possible through a generous gift from Virginia Ullman, opens to the public on April 24. As a result, Phoenix Art Museum receives $18.2 million to complete its master plan, which began as a result of the prior bond election in 1988.

2001

For the first time, Phoenix Triennial 2001 (July 28-September 23) features works from Mexico, as well as Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas.

The Museum begins construction on a building expansion as a result of the 2001 Phoenix bond election.

2018

Phoenix Art Museum and The Steele Foundation partner to present the PhxArt Open for Kids program, offering free admission for all youth 17 and younger from July 1 through September 30, 2018.

The program is established through a generous gift from PetSmart and continued in 2018 by APS.

The Museum welcomes living-legend Hank Aaron, joined by Commissioner Emeritus of Major League Baseball Bud Selig and ESPN’s Mike Wilbon, to the 2018 Luncheon of Legends, benefiting art and education at the Museum.
