Meet SMFA Admissions Representatives   

The perfect way to find out more about SMFA is to connect with an Admissions Representative. Admissions Reps travel the US and overseas to engage with students about our school, our programs and studying art in Boston. You can also meet with an Admissions Rep on campus for a school overview, review of your artwork, campus tour and visit to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Contact a staff member directly below or call the Admissions Office at 617-369-3626.
