BECOME A PHXART MEMBER TO ENJOY UNLIMITED ADMISSION TO THE MUSEUM YOU LOVE, ALL YEAR LONG
free to see
To support access to art for our community, and through the support of our Circles of Support, Museum Members, and valued philanthropic partners, we offer a number of voluntary-donation times when the Museum is open free to everyone.
Pay-What-You-Wish Wednesdays
Every Wednesday /// 3 – 9 pm
Pay-What-You-Wish Wednesdays, the longest-running community-access program at Phoenix Art Museum, has welcomed more than 1 million visitors in its 20-year history. By reducing economic barriers, we ensure that all people have the opportunity to access arts and culture.
Pay-What-You-Wish Wednesdays are made possible by SRP and City of Phoenix.
PhxArt AfterHours
Select Fridays /// 5 – 9 pm
Four times a year, Phoenix Art Museum opens for free after dark for PhxArt AfterHours, activated by live music, art-making workshops, specialty food and drink experiences, and other performances and entertainment. Visit the Museum during an AfterHours event to expand the way you interact with art.
2023 Dates
- February 3 /// 5 – 9 pm (with the support of Authentic Brands Group, LLC, Arizona Costume Institute, and JPMorgan Chase & Co.)
- April 7 /// 5 – 9 pm (with the support of JPMorgan Chase & Co.)
- September 1 /// 5 – 9 pm
- December 1 /// 5 – 9 pm
PhxArt AfterHours in 2023 are made possible through the generosity of Partner Sponsor APS.
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) that eliminate tickets to special exhibitions and offer fully free admission without exception. These programs also 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.
PhxArt Family Fundays
Four times a year, Phoenix Art Museum hosts PhxArt Family Fundays, an all-ages, free-access day with complimentary admission to every gallery and exhibition and arts-engagement programming suitable for visitors of all ages, interests, and abilities.
2023 Dates
- February 26 /// 10 am – 5 pm
- May 28 /// 10 am – 5 pm
- July 30 /// 10 am – 5 pm
- October 29 /// 10 am – 5 pm
PhxArt Family Fundays in 2023 are made possible through the generosity of Presenting Sponsor Men’s Arts Council.

Through MC3@PAM, all Maricopa Community Colleges students who attend any of the 10 colleges or affiliated skill centers will enjoy free general admission to PhxArt, including admission into special-engagement exhibitions. An active student ID is required.
