THE SMFA PROGRAM
Designed by artists, for artists

It puts you, the artist, at the center. You will be encouraged. You will be supported. You will not be told what to do.

You will work in a medium that you've never tried before. You will work with faculty to develop your own voice, your own point of view.

A History Lesson

SMFA was founded in 1876, conceived at the same time as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as the crucial second part of a mission to educate through the arts. SMFA was intended to be a school of art; not simply a technical institute, but a school of the most rigorous ideas and concepts.
