Wish you could take a second look at a presentation you loved?

Associates Encores offers the answer to these questions—and more!

How to make the most of your access to Associates Encores
Many—but not all—live-streamed programs are recorded. We understand it's not always possible to watch a program in real time, and as a courtesy to ticket buyers we are glad to make recordings available within 48 hours after the program has taken place. The recordings can be viewed for up to three days (72 hours) after they become available.

Frequently asked questions

When do recordings become available?
Within 48 hours after the program or multi-session course or series has taken place.
How long are recordings available to view?
Up to three days (72 hours) once it becomes available.
How do I view my program recordings?
I missed a program I wanted to view and did not register in advance. Can I still get a recording?
The only way to ensure that you never miss a program is to register and buy your tickets in advance. Due to the volume of programs produced by Smithsonian Associates, recordings are available only for a brief time after the program date.
Can I share a recording with a friend?
Recordings can only be viewed by using the account tied to the ticket-buying registrant's email address. Recordings may not be forwarded to any other email address.
These policies on access to recordings do not apply to Smithsonian Associates Studio Arts classes or to Smithsonian Summer Adventures.
