We Count on Your Support

Individual contributions play a major role in ensuring the Smart Museum's success. Each year, our members and annual fund donors provide essential funds that support the full range of our mission—on campus, in the community, throughout Chicago, and well beyond. This support helps sustain the high quality of the Museum's exhibitions and ensures that all of our pursuits are undertaken with a level of confidence and creativity that sets the Smart Museum apart. Most importantly, consistent annual donations help ensure that our galleries and exhibitions remain open and free for everyone to enjoy.

Especially Right Now

This holiday season, please consider making a special contribution to the Smart Museum of Art. Your tax-deductible gift counts as support of both the Smart Museum and the University of Chicago, and can be made as part of a larger gift to the University. The Museum is grateful to the many alumni, members, and friends who support its work; we hope you will join them in contributing to Smart Museum's success.

Giving is Simple
