SMFA at Tufts

For nearly 150 years, SMFA has been on the cutting edge of art education. From our original focus on the French École des Beaux-Arts movement and the English Arts and Crafts movement, to our early embrace of Bauhaus ideas, to our 1960s emphasis on exploring a mix of techniques and mediums, to our present-day emphasis on an open curriculum, we have never strayed from our mission of preparing students to become contemporary artists and thinkers determined and prepared to make a difference.
