The Marciano Art Foundation is a free contemporary art museum inside a 1961 Scottish Rite Masonic temple designed by Millard Sheets, bought and converted by Guess co-founders Maurice and Paul Marciano. It opened in 2017, closed amid a 2019 labor dispute, and resumed public programming in 2024. Exhibitions rotate through works from the Marciano collection alongside the building's own Masonic history, including a stairwell mural by Nicolas Party and a Relic Room of Masonic artifacts.
