Join Danielle Carrabino, SCMA Curator of Painting and Sculpture, for a detective-style exploration of Caravaggio’s little-known Sicilian period. Examine disputed works through technical analysis, historical records, and stylistic comparisons, then join the discussion to weigh the evidence and consider their true authorship.

Danielle Carrabino serves as the Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Smith College Museum of Art, where she oversees the collection spanning antiquity through 1950. A specialist in Renaissance and Baroque art, she is the author of Caravaggio in Early Modern Sicily (Routledge, 2026), the first English-language book dedicated to the artist’s Sicilian period.

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

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

6–6:45 pm
Visit the 3rd floor of SCMA to explore multi-media artist Katia Kameli's installation, Stream of Stories (Chapter 2), where fables from Sanskrit, Arabic, and French traditions come together. Through these timeless tales, Kameli examines translation, identity, and power, and reimagines how museums tell stories.

Join Lucy Montgomery for an engaging retelling of The Tortoise and the Two Ducks, followed by a conversation about Kameli's creative approach to museum display.

Join featured artist Jeff Kasper for Wrestling Embrace, a playful, thought-provoking virtual program exploring connection, trust, and mindfulness. Inspired by his work in Don’t mind if I do (on view through June 28), the session combines a visually rich lecture with short, optional prompts for reflection, journaling, and chat-based sharing.

Held online via Zoom, this interactive program invites you to participate from wherever you are. Bring a notebook or paper and pen and discover how Kasper turns everyday interactions into moments of insight and connection—no experience required.

This event is part of SCMA Conversations: A series connecting audiences with SCMA’s collection. Explore art and spark discovery—no matter where you are.
