    Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art

    Founded in 1999, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art [SMoCA] presents the most compelling modern and contemporary art, architecture and design from around the globe. Designed by award-winning architect Will Bruder, SMoCA's minimalist building (an ingenious renovation of a former movie theater) has five galleries for showcasing changing exhibitions and works from the Museum's growing permanent collection. SMoCA also features an outdoor sculpture garden housing James Turrell's Knight Rise, a public "skyspace" for observing the ever-changing light of the desert sky, and Scrim Wall, a monumental curtain of translucent glass panels by James Carpenter Design Associates. The Museum presents a wide variety of educational programs and special events for adults and families, including lectures, docent-led tours, workshops and classes. The Museum Store @ SMoCA offers classic design objects and furnishings, contemporary jewelry, art and architecture books and imaginative gifts for all occasions.

    Important Information: Museum visitors may use their cell phones to call a special number and hear short messages from the artists and curators about the artworks on view. This special behind-the-scenes information is provided free of charge, for only a visitor's use of cell-phone minutes. The recordings will also be available as podcasts on SMoCA's website, www.smoca.org.
