Museum Programs

These curriculum-connected programs are designed to invoke wonder, inspire conversation, and empower artistic discovery through the rotating exhibitions at SMoCA.

**NOTE: School programs are sold out for the school year, but we have just what you need for a self-guided experience with your students! Use the below Gallery Guide to have fun looking closer at art and participate in gallery activities with your students.

If you would like to bring a group of seven (7) people or more for a self-guided visit, please reserve your time by contacting SMoCA at 480-874-4666 or reserving online.

Reservations must be made at least a week in advance and are required to help us best serve everyone. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a chaperone at a 1:5 ratio. Time slots for Thursdays are first come, first served with limited availability.
