Young artists make their professional debut
Visions ’26 highlights the skills, inspirations, and ideas exchanged between advanced high school art students and Arizona-based professional artists over the year. Both Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) exhibitions and artist-led workshops inspired the students to create artworks expressive of topics important to them.
This exhibition is the students’ first opportunity to share their voices and show their work in a professional art gallery. Join the celebrations as the young artists make their professional debut!
Exhibition dates: May 1–Sept. 13, 2026
