Smith Arts Day

On Saturday, April 19, The Smith Office for the Arts (SOFA) invites the public to the second annual Smith Arts Day, a vibrant celebration of creativity across disciplines. Building on last year’s successful launch, this year’s daylong festival features over 40 free events—from hands-on workshops to performances and exhibitions—highlighting Smith’s thriving arts community.

SOFA invites you to join us for concerts, performances, open rehearsals, special installations and exhibitions, tours, workshops, art-making activities and more. Smith Arts Day kicks off on Friday night, April 18, with Spring Smith Student Art Sale, followed by a full day of activities on Saturday from 10 am - 9 pm. Explore Smith campus through the arts and find your own creativity.
