Friends
The Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA) is free and open to all. Becoming a friend is one of the most meaningful ways to sustain teaching, learning, and community engagement—whether you live nearby or far away.
Your Impact
Being an SCMA friend is more than access; it is a commitment to discovery, access, belonging, and connection.
In return, friends enjoy special invitations and benefits that connect you more deeply to the museum and its mission.
