NORTH TO PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Maricopa Freeway

Dr. Alexander J. Chandler arrived in the Valley in 1887 and pictured a cutting-edge city where Chandler now sits today. He saw land that held great potential and a surrounding desert that boasted unimaginable beauty. Utilizing the existing canal system of the Native Americans as a blueprint, Dr. Chandler created one of the most advanced irrigation systems in the country, converting the dry desert into farmable land. Water came from both the Salt River and an untapped resource, ground water, which brought new life to the desert. On May 17, 1912, the Town of Chandler was founded. Today Chandler, Arizona is still on the cutting edge. Dr. Chandler's vision of creating a diverse city with a high quality of life has been realized, becoming one of the leaders in the computer technology field. Chandler is a city of continuous growth and evolution offering a wide range of recreational and entertainment options from usual to unusual. With its eclectic mix of community, history, indoor/outdoor recreation and relaxation, Chandler is where trips feel more like vacations.

Center for the Arts

The Chandler Center for the Arts is a world-class performing arts venue located in the heart of Downtown Chandler. It showcases some of today’s most talented performers and artwork from local and national artists. The unique design of the facility, featuring a “turntable divisible” auditorium system, allows two sections of seating in the rear of the main auditorium to rotate 180 degrees to face two more intimate stages. Walls move with the seating areas to prevent sound interference so that three events can run simultaneously. In fact, the hallmark of the complex is its superb acoustics. The Chandler Center for the Arts is ideally situated at the major intersection of Chandler Boulevard and Arizona Avenue, at the north end of downtown Chandler. Location: 250 N. Arizona Avenue, Chandler, 480.782.2680.
