Programs for Adults
Connecting you with art and ideas
Week in and week out, the Smart Museum offers intellectually adventurous yet engaging programs for adults—from art lovers to casual visitors.
Presented for free, our public programs include lectures, artist talks, writing and art-making workshops, tours, concerts, and more. These programs—often created in partnership with University of Chicago faculty or other cultural institutions from across the city—introduce multiple perspectives and examine alternative themes related to the art on view in our galleries.
Public programs are made possible by Smart Parnters.
