    OVERVIEW


    Come join a dedicated and creative team at an exceptional time for the Smithsonian, an institution with a bold vision for the future: to build a better tomorrow for all.

    Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III and the institution's leadership are launching a campaign to support this vision.

    The Smithsonian Campaign for Our Shared Futurewill secure funds for all Smithsonian museums and centers as the institution reimagines its mission to find solutions for collective challenges in a rapidly changing world.

    The campaign will provide a foundation for critical research to ensure people and nature thrive together, build unparalleled education programs with families and partners, collect the world's most precious objects, document the present while reflecting on the past, and reimagine the visitor experience both in-person and online.

    We are bringing the Smithsonian off the National Mall and across the country through dynamic programming and affiliate partnerships, creating access for all.

    The Smithsonian is also developing two new museums—the National Museum of the American Latino and the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum.

    These museums will share the experiences and perspectives of Latinos and women across history and deepen our shared understanding of what it means to be American.


    The Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Art (AAA) is the largest and most widely used resource on the history of American art in the world.

    Its mission is to collect, preserve, and make available primary records documenting this country's rich artistic and cultural legacy with the aim of encouraging all to explore how art is essential to the human experience.

    Located in Washington, DC, the Archives also has a research center in New York City. To learn more about the Archives of American Art, visit our website at
