Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) in the state of Arizona is a museum in the Old Town district of downtown Scottsdale, Arizona. The museum is dedicated to exhibiting modern works of art, design and architecture. The Museum has four galleries that house various exhibitions, curated from their growing permanent collection and rotating shows. Knight Rise skyspace, by Arizona artist James Turrell, is permanently on view.[2]
SMoCA was conceived in 1988 and opened in February 1999.[3][4] The now-evocative, minimalist building is a complete retrofit by Phoenix-based architect Will Bruder of a former movie theater.[3][5]
The museum is run for the city by Scottsdale Arts, a non-profit corporation.[6]
