Join us from 4–8 p.m. for an evening of art, making, and community at the Smith College Museum of Art. Galleries are open until 8 p.m. SCMA is free and open to all!

4–7 p.m. 
Drop in for hands-on art making in the Boeckman Sculpture Court (Museum Atrium). All ages welcome.

Outside may still be dreary and chilly, but in the galleries, paintings of the natural world are bursting with life and color. Let’s work together to collaboratively recreate artist Abraham Mignon’s Woodland Still Life on a large scale. Build a scene with 3D flowers and animals with paper to bring the still life to real life. 

SCMA presents Learning How to Desire, Finnegan Shannon
Conversation to follow with curator Lauren Leving, moderated by Charlotte Feng Ford '83 Curator of Contemporary Art Emma Chubb
Public reception at Smith College Museum of Art

Rooted in SCMA's exhibition of Don't mind if I do, which is expanded to include drawings from architect Phyllis Birkby's archives, artist Finnegan Shannon will give a talk about where fantasy lives in their practice. They'll touch on sensory pleasures, the luxury of options, and the ways that Phyllis Birkby's notion of the "messiness of life" makes fantasies richer and more potent.
