Land Acknowledgement We are on the unceded, sacred land of the O’odham and Piipaash Peoples and their Huhugam and Piipaash Nykor ancestors. We acknowledge and celebrate the On’k Akimel O’odham (Salt River Pima) and Xalychidom Piipaash (Maricopa) communities, their elders, both past and present, and generations to come. They are the original stewards of this land, and we are humbled to reside here. There are twenty-two federally recognized tribes in Arizona, and we honor the many diverse Indigenous peoples connected to this land that has sustained their people for centuries. They are an important part of our history, our present, and our future. We also invest in the future of contemporary tribal members. As an arts and culture organization, it is our duty to uplift the artists and activists doing this work. We have been honored to collaborate with many visual artists and performers, representing numerous tribes, on Scottsdale Arts events and exhibitions through the years.

Holocaust Education Kits
SMoCA Discovery Program
Tickets: Free for schools
Tickets: Free for schools
Hope Chest and Hold on to Hope are designed to inspire community through Arizona-based Holocaust survivor Oskar Knoblauch’s memoir. Oskar’s story of survival and the relevant themes of hope and respect shine a light on living life not as a bystander but as an “upstander” and on the tragic consequences of intolerance.
The Discovery Program combines a classroom workshop with a museum field trip. In the classroom, students participate in a studio-style, hands-on lesson that introduces key themes through active artmaking and discussion. At the museum, a guided tour of SMoCA’s exhibitions deepens this learning through inquiry-based dialogue and interactive in-gallery activities.

SmART Integration SmART Integration is all about mixing the magic of the arts, like painting, music, movement, and drama, into everyday classroom learning. Through exciting, standards-based residencies and workshops, educators pick up strategies they can easily weave into their lessons. The result? Curious, engaged students who think deeply, get creative, and connect with what they’re learning in totally new ways. Learning has never been this fun or this SmART! SmART Integration is accomplished through a collaboration with more than 20 teaching artists, multiple school districts, and select national partners, including the Kennedy Center, Focus 5, and Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.
