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

From 4–7pm Hands-on Art Making
Layers upon layers upon layers! Inspired by Younes Rahmoun’s Zahra-Saghira (Flower-Small) and Markib (Boat), celebrate spring by mindfully creating multilayered flowers. Draw with a spirograph tool or fold origami to build upon simple steps to make complex and vibrant botanical shapes. This project was developed by SCMA STRIDE scholar Maeve Stanford as part of her 2023-2025 research project on family learning in museums.

From 5:30-6pm Curator talk

This is an on-line only event.

Join Emma Chubb, Charlotte Feng Ford ’83 Curator of Contemporary Art at SCMA, and Sarah Loomis, Associate Director of Education at the Botanic Garden, for a member-exclusive talk about the collaboration between the museum and garden for Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now, the first North American exhibition devoted to the art of Younes Rahmoun.

Over the last 25 years, Rahmoun–one of Morocco’s leading contemporary artists–has found inspiration in a profound connection to his here and now. Chubb and Loomis will take visitors on a virtual tour of the exhibition and discuss some of the many forms of creative and academic engagement that have rooted as part of this project. The exhibition takes place at four distinct locations. The first three locations are on the Smith College campus in Northampton, MA. The fourth location is at the Ada and Archibald MacLeish Field Station in Whately, MA.
