The PBJ has a list this week of the area’s arts centers, ranked by the number of people who walk through their doors annually. Here’s the top five:

1) Symphony Hall, with 350,000 attendees at 250 performances
2) Mesa Arts Center, with 300,000 attendees at more than 1000 events. (The venue has four theaters and other event spaces.)
3) US Airways Center: 300,000 attendees. (No events total is given.)
4) Chandler Center for the Arts: 286,000 attendees at 250 events
5) Grady Gammage Auditorium: 284,000 at 43 events

Cricket (260,000) and the Dodge (200,000) are right behind. A note at the bottom says that Jobing.com Arena didn’t participate in the survey, which seems a bit churlish. Unmentioned is the Celebrity Theatre.
