The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art presented Get Smart at SMoCA, its first progressive party and benefit. A hip homage to the 1960s, Get Smart at SMoCA began with a walking treasure hunt through downtown Scottsdale, followed by cocktails (including a vintage drink designed exclusively for SMoCA by Dr. Cocktail), the music of A Touch of Blues and a silent auction back at the Museum. The party then moved to the nearby James Hotel, where guests enjoyed a bistro dinner, live auction and dancing to 1960s sounds with DJ Mr. P-Body. Cory McCloskey of Fox 10 was the celebrity host for the event.Suggested attire was1960s mod or secret-agent chic. All proceeds benefited SMoCA’s exhibition and education programs.

Get Smart at SMoCA was sponsored by James Hotel, London Gold, Merrill Lynch, The RoomStore, Morton’s, My Florist Café & Bar, Lee and Mike Cohn, Ali and Nargess Salass, Acura North Scottsdale, Republic Residential Mortgage, Trader Joe’s, AZ Wine Company, Azadi Fine Rugs, SRP, Clock Doctor, and Parada Expo Center.
