For 150 years, SMFA has been shaped by the artists who learned, taught, experimented, and took creative risks within its studios—and that story continues with you. The 150th anniversary is more than a celebration of the past; it’s an opportunity for alumni to help shape the future of art education at SMFA at Tufts. Join us in marking this milestone—by reconnecting, reflecting, and helping imagine what the next 150 years can be.

Celebrate SMFA 150

As the role of artists expands across disciplines and industries, alumni engagement is essential to sustaining SMFA’s legacy of innovation, experimentation, and impact. Whether through participation, mentorship, creative collaboration, or philanthropic support, alumni play a vital role in strengthening the community and inspiring the next generation of artists.
