Education Resources for College Faculty

The Smith College Museum of Art's premier collection of modern western art, along with major holdings of African, Latin American, and Asian art, provide an extensive resource for teaching.

Classes from any college are welcome to visit our galleries and the Cunningham Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings and Photographs from once a semester to every week.

Museum staff are available to help faculty access the museum’s resources and to plan and/or conduct museum visits. Several special resources are available:

• Faculty may incorporate the museum’s lectures and tours as part of a course.
• Special teaching facilities allow works from storage to be accessed for class use.
• Arrangements may be made for the museum’s guest artists and speakers to visit a class.
• On occasion, and as part of a longer-term planning process, an exhibition may be mounted in support of a course, or a class may organize an exhibition.

The museum also offers many ways for Smith students to extend their academic preparation through internships, volunteer opportunities, and special programs and events.
