Free Admission Friday from 10am to 4:30pm at Smart Museum of Art - see INFO below. In 1999, the Smart received a 5 million bequest from Paul and Miriam Kirkley to establish an endowment for art acquisitions. During the 2000s, pioneering exhibitions like Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China (2004), Echoes of the Past: The Buddhist Cave Temples of Xiangtangshan (2010), and Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art (2012) toured nationally and internationally. Today, as in the past, the Smart remains an adventurous institution committed to exploring big ideas. Throughout 20142015, we used our 40th anniversary as a catalyst to reflect upon and reinvent the Smart's core practices, with a particular focus on education, interpretation, and engagement.
