Our commitment to diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion
From Charlottesville to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the failure of justice for Jacob Blake, recent events have underscored how deep-seated white supremacy and racial violence are in this country.
As part of Smith College, “We recognize that white supremacist legacies, historic and systemic, have affected and continue to affect not only Black lives but also those of many other races and identities.”—Smith O.E.I.
Art museums, including ours, have contributed to racist structures through choices of what artworks to collect and how, and whose stories about art and history are told and by whom. We are working to create a genuinely inclusive and anti-racist museum that reflects the diversity of the campus community that is at the heart of our mission.
Learn about steps we are taking.
Although SCMA's galleries are closed through December 2020 as part of "A Culture of Care" at Smith College, we have expanded the museum's digital resources and made them easily accessible.
Featuring unique and creative objects that have been sourced from artists, designers and makers around the globe
SCMA has launched a new online exhibition. This exhibition invites viewers to join the museum in looking back to look forward, as SCMA continues to refine what it means to be a museum in the 21st century.
SCMA is a virtual resource and connecting point for all visitors—both within the Smith College community and beyond
