Graffiti Art and Craft Mesh for a Magnetic Celebration
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art [SMoCA] encourages the public to see why SMoCA is the magnetic museum-literally! Each May, visitors are invited to bring magnets to SMoCA and place them on the museum's metal exterior. Join us to kick-off "May Magnet Month" in style Thursday, May 1st starting at 5:00 p.m. by adding your creative touch to this magnetic community "mural" with magnets of all shapes, colors and sizes. Special guest artists from the Denver-based Magnet Mafia, along with Phoenix's own Alphamonster Art Collective, Spraygraphic, Conspire co-operative, the Crafty Burritos and Red Hot Robot will be present for the Magnet Month launch party this year. Enjoy music and refreshments while participating in creative magnet-making projects with the artists. In the spirit of graffiti art, the Magnet Mafia is known for working on all sorts of steel surfaces found in urban nooks and crannies. It hopes to spread its art-magnet interventions across the globe, with the collective help of other artists and street enthusiasts. If you miss the big launch, join the magnetic fun at your convenience anytime during May. Or, just stop by and watch the accumulation grow and morph over the course of the month. A final group photo of all the magnets covering the museum will be held on May 30 at 5:00 p.m., just before the Museum's Yin/Yang Friday event!
