Cause for Creativity is SMMoA's popular workshop series that fuses art-making and social action by engaging participants in an exploration of issues ranging from homelessness to environmentally-friendly modes of transportation. These hands-on workshops encourage the community to "make art and make a difference" locally and globally.

Each season, SMMoA features a Family Day workshop led by fascinating artists who present projects with themes that relate to the exhibitions on view. These drop-in workshops are open to people of all ages.
