Please join us during the final weekend of How We Work: Smack Mellon at 30, celebrating the organization’s 30th anniversary, for a curatorial walkthrough led by Curator & Director of Exhibitions, Rachel Vera Steinberg and Curatorial Intern, Elle Gallen. The tour will focus on select works and moments from Smack Mellon’s history. 

How We Work: Smack Mellon at 30 gathers new and old works by program alumni, former/current employees, artists who are new to the program and exemplary of our mission, alongside archival material, to explore the idea of “work” as a foundational throughline of Smack Mellon’s operations. 

This will be the exhibition’s final public program and coincides with Smack Mellon’s Open Studios.
