Mission

Davis Museum Student Advisory Committee was founded a few years ago to serve as a liaison between the student body and the Davis Museum and Cultural Center. As an organization in which both students and the director of the Davis Museum and Cultural Center take an active role, DMSAC fulfills its role as a liaison organization. At the same time, the group aims to engage the student body with the museum, one of Wellesley's greatest resources, and to increase student participation at the museum.

Activities

In accordance with its mission, DMSAC has organized a major evening event each semester. These events, known as Davis After Dark, have proven to be very popular and successful with the student body, but DMSAC is continuing to improve on and refine the Davis After Dark formula each semester. In addition to Davis After Dark, DMSAC has also worked to put on student openings, helped to publicize film series' at Collins Cinema, worked with Optik to create an exhibition of student photography in the Collins Cafe, and is working on finding additional ways to engage the Wellesley student body with the arts, such as organizing trips to local museums.

Interim period

DMSAC will be working full force while the museum is closed! There will be events held all year long in the lobby space, Collins and elsewhere on campus. Although we won’t be having museum openings, the focus of DMSAC programming this year will be redirected to align with both student organizations and academic departments on campus.
Please check back at the beginning of the year for dates for our events.
