Summer Cookout

Summer in the Smart Museum's sculpture garden

Our permanent collection galleries get a fresh look every year. We’re unveiling the latest changes over the summer with a series of celebratory cookouts in the sculpture garden featuring food, drink, performances, and conversations about art and belonging.

On July 14, join us as we unveil our freshly installed Asian art gallery, featuring a rare and recently acquired 12th-century carved wood Buddhist guardian figure as well as select scroll paintings, prints, sculptures, and ceramics from China, Japan, and Korea.

Free, but let us know if you plan to come. RSVP to SmartRSVP@uchicago.edu or join in on Facebook.

Rain or shine.

Continue the celebration all summer long—additional Summer Cookouts take place on June 30 and August 18
