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 August 18, join us for the opening of Conversations with the Collection: Belonging as well as the debut of reinstalled Modern Art and Design and European Art galleries. Plus, a capstone celebration with our summer partners, the Arts + Public Life Teen Arts Council, Red Line Service, Stockyard Institute, and others.

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 July 14
