About Us
As a division of The Smithsonian Associates, the Smithsonian Resident Associate Program maintains a focus on producing educational and cultural opportunities for the residents of the greater Washington, D.C., area. Learners of all ages and backgrounds share the delight of inquiry through participation in panel discussions, performances, lectures, multi-part courses and seminars, film screenings, as well as local and regional study tours.
THE SMITHSONIAN ASSOCIATES
The Smithsonian Associates was established 40 years ago as the membership, cultural, and educational arm of the Smithsonian Institution. It is recognized as the world's largest and most esteemed museum-based continuing education program.
OUR MISSION
The mission of The Smithsonian Associates is to share the vast intellectual resources of the Smithsonian, which in turn strengthens the bond between the American people and their national museum. To involve the public in the life of the Institution, The Smithsonian Associates creates educational activities that take many forms and occur in many settings--on the National Mall, across the country, and online.
OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING
The programming offered by The Smithsonian Associates and the Smithsonian Resident Associate Program highlights and complements the work done across the Smithsonian Institution through collections and research.
Topics range from the latest discoveries in astrophysics to the delights of regional cuisine. Anyone seeking a broad-ranging education, offered by the leaders of contemporary thought, can find programs of interest here.
