The museum has five main galleries and an outdoor sculpture garden, showcasing works from both its growing permanent collection, as well as major traveling exhibitions. SMoCA hosts a large collection of special events and educational programs on a regular basis.
The Store @ SMoCA sells an array of both classic and contemporary design objects, furnishings, art, gifts, jewelry, and architectural books.

SMoCA was founded in 1999. The now-evocative, minimalist building is a complete retrofit of a previous corporate movie theater that once existed at the site just off the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, and adjacent to the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. It was designed by famed Phoenix-based architect Will Bruder.
