text: The architecture along deserves five stars When I drive past Tempe Center of the Arts on the freeway I can see it shimmering in the sun When I drive up and park to walk inside I see its glory and realize this is truly a masterpiece in Tempe nnWhile we do not have an ocean we do have a lake well maybe it is not a lake to some but it is as close as we can get here in Phoenix Tempe Center for the Arts created its architecture so that the water is a negative edge so that when you look out all you see is miles of water It is gorgeous nnTempe Center of the Arts is one of the few venues in Tempe that can hold a large amount of people I hosted an event here in a previous job and we brought in high school students for a academic day Not only was the staff a gem to work with we were able to use every level knook and cranny of the venue which gave a unique twist to a conference and allowed the students to have some visual stimulation nnI have also attended events here as a guest and every time I visit I walk away in awe of the space This truly is one of the great venues of Tempe or Phoenix for that matter and I applaud them
