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]
SMoCA has featured major exhibitions from artists such as Lydia Okumura, James Marshall, Paolo Soleri, Squidsoup, Mel Roman, and Olafur Eliasson.
