History
For a number of years, the Mesa Arts Center has appreciated the support of its non-profit partners. When Mesa Arts Center programming grew in the 1980's, two support groups were formed: Galeria Mesa and the Friends of Mesa Youtheatre. In the 1990's, they merged into the Friends of Mesa Arts Center, to continue the support of Mesa Arts Center programs and operations. In 2004, the group reorganized again to step up fundraising and advocacy efforts for the new Mesa Arts Center. To reflect their renewed commitment to and support of the Mesa Arts Center, the organization changed its name to the Mesa Arts Center Foundation.
