I absolutely loved this museum! I had about two hours, and it was the perfect amount of time. There were three main exhibits, each of them fantastic. The layout was beautiful, the docents were helpful, and the admission fee was quite reasonable!

Always great exhibits at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Make sure to check out James Turrell's "Knight Rise" Skyspace (This is always free).
For museum entry pay what you wish on Thursdays and every second Saturday of the month. Free tickets must still be reserved in advance.

Everybody was so helpful. George went above and beyond with information. We had a great time. Go go across sidewalk n wet your whistle at The Olivio Restaurant. Fantastic architecture
The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) is an artist and audience-centered institution that brings communities together under the shared philosophy that art has the power to engage our imaginations, challenge our perceptions, and inspire change. Opened in 1999, the Museum has established itself as a leader in the arts presenting innovative exhibitions and educational programs. SMoCA engages with emerging and established artists from around the world and from our own community to support new commissions and encourage dialogue about the art of our time. The result is a lively community space that is a laboratory for creative thinking and new ideas.
