SMAC

The Students’ Museum Advisory Council (SMAC) is a volunteer organization with the aim of creating a viable link between the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and the University of Utah students. SMAC encourages applications from students who have an interest in the Museum, a desire to serve and time to volunteer. Students from any academic department or discipline can join SMAC.

SMAC meets twice each month from September through April, and provides members with the opportunity to help create and shape the student events at the Museum. SMAC is a fun way to meet other students, enrich your U of U experience and is a great addition to your resume.

Members must:

  • Be officially enrolled in the University of Utah
  • Submit an application to be considered
  • Participate in at least half of all scheduled meetings (meetings are held on the 7th and 22nd of each month during the academic school year)

It is strongly recommended that SMAC members become members of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. The student membership cost is $15 annually and all SMAC membership proceeds directly support SMAC programming.
