Tour to Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art

Perfect follow up to the guest speaker at the January meeting, we enjoyed Paolo Soleri:The City of Nature up close and personal. Curator Claire Carter explained the exhibit at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art as we viewed each piece. Amazing work, fascinating history, interesting architect and artist.
