Circles of Giving members provide leadership level gifts to enhance and expand the dynamic and diverse performances, exhibitions and arts education and outreach programs presented by the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA).  By sharing our vision and becoming a member of this prominent group, you will ensure that the Scottsdale Cultural Council remains a cultural institution of the highest caliber for future generations.
