Founded in 1876, the SMFA has served as the training ground for internationally renowned artists such as Cy Twombly, Ellsworth Kelly, Nan Goldin, and Jim Dine. Just across the street from the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), the SMFA is housed in a building designed by Graduate School of Design grad Graham D.

Decades passed before other artists began to draw out the full implications of his fertile experiments.

According to several members who voted for the Stupak amendment, they would have supported a more moderate compromise along the lines of the Ellsworth language if they had been given the chance.
