About the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, known as SMoCA, is located in downtown Scottsdale, Arizona, in the district called Old Town. Its focus is contemporary art, design and architecture. Its five galleries show exhibitions curated from a growing permanent collection and from rotating shows. A skyspace by Arizona artist James Turrell, called Knight Rise, is on permanent view.
The idea for SMoCA dates to 1988, and the museum opened in February 1999. Will Bruder, an architect based in Phoenix, completely retrofitted a former movie theater into its minimalist building. Scottsdale Arts, a non-profit corporation, runs the museum for the city. Olafur Eliasson, Mel Roman, Squidsoup, Paolo Soleri, James Marshall and Lydia Okumura are among the artists featured in its major exhibitions.
