Date/Time
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
Join the curator of "Temporarily Ours: Contemporary Photography and Film" to discuss the film "Hashti Tehran" in the lower level gallery, followed by a full film screening in the Cunningham Center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs.
From 6–7pm Film screening | In the Cunningham Center
"Hashti Tehran" is a film and discursive project initiated by filmmaker Daniel Kötter in collaboration with environmentalist Shadnaz Azizi, architect and urban designer Kaveh Rashidzadeh, urban planner Pouya Sepehr, and sociologist Amir Tehrani.
