The city of Fitchburg is home to the celebrated Fitchburg Art Museum (FAM) -- the de facto museum for Fitchburg State. Students, staff, and faculty enjoy free admission, quality internships, and classes co-taught by FAM staff and Fitchburg State faculty.

FAM staff regularly collaborates with university students on a range of projects, from the development of marketing materials for museum exhibits, including catalogues and branded campaigns, to gallery space that hosts student work.
