SCHEMA 2023–2025: Years in Review

This special double issue of our annual report covers a uniquely consequential period at the Smith College Museum of Art (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025) that saw the elimination of an admission fee and a simultaneous surge in visitation, bringing attendance back up to pre-pandemic levels. We invite you to read about this and other initiatives on the pages that follow, with additional and more detailed content on our website, www.scma.smith.edu.
