Humpty Dumpty: Visitors young and old simply cannot resist the temptation to join this life-size classic character on his wall in Downtown Mesa. This roving sculpture is the friendliest face in Downtown Mesa’s permanent sculpture collection, and is the perfect selfie companion. (Artist: Kimber Fiebiger)
Light Rail Art: If you’re hopping aboard the Light Rail at the Country Club and Main Street station, you can’t miss this selfie-worthy sculpture, Mesaflora. Inspired by the blossoming metropolis of Mesa, this 30-foot flower features color-changing dichroic glass petals that capture the Mesa sunlight. (Artist: Ed Carpenter)
Mesa Urban Garden Murals: Community gardens bring people together, but Mesa Urban Garden took it up a notch by getting locals to paint street art murals on the walls surrounding the greenery. Bonus points if you can get some of the fresh grown produce into your shot!
Mesa Arts Center: Home to several larger than life art installations on a scenic Shadow Walk, Mesa Arts Center has loads of picturesque sites. When there’s a breeze, check out the wind-activated sculpture by artist Ned Kahn for a selfie opportunity that’ll blow your friends away. Don’t miss the captivating and colorful light reflections from Beth Galston’s Color Walk bridging together the Art Studio buildings.
Every selfie needs a hashtag to go along with it. Be sure to include #VisitMesa on your social post.
