Sponsored by BNSF
The Summer at SAM Kickoff presented in partnership with Friends of Waterfront Seattle.
SAM Performs: 6:30-8 pm
Deep Sea Diver
Deep Sea Diver urgently and deliberately moves you from rock experimentation to dreamy soundscapes, from drum and bass grooves to angular danci-ness, and from full-fledged orchestration to bare bones simplicity.
SAM Creates: 6-8 pm
Garden Views with Romson Regarde Bustillo
Using mixed media collage materials, create viewfinders inspired by Tamiko Thiel’s augmented reality app, Gardens of the Anthropocene. Change the lens you see the world through and explore the Olympic Sculpture Park with your own visual narrative.
My Favorite Things Tour: 7 pm
Florangela Davila
Join Forterra’s Director of Voices of the Region, Florangela Davila, as she guides you through her favorite works of art in the park. Davila started out as a daily newspaper reporter and now freelances stories for public radio, has strong opinions about what makes cities vibrant, and believes all outdoor adventures are best accompanied with wine. Or, scotch.
Food Trucks 5:45-7:45 pm
Taste will also be serving wine, beer, cocktails and snacks.
Kids Corner in PACCAR Pavilion: 6-8 pm
Take a break from the sun and come play in the PACCAR Pavilion. Families can enjoy the Kids Corner and drop-in art making at the SAM Creates station. Spend time drawing at the kids-sized easels and capture the sculptures, plant life, and beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. Relax in a beanbag chair, read a new book, do a puzzle, or create your own masterpiece. Kids of all ages are welcome!

This year’s season is inspired by SAM’s special exhibitions at all three locations: “Graphic Masters: Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, Picasso, Hogarth, R. Crumb” at the Seattle Art Museum; “Mood Indigo: Textiles From Around the World” at the Asian Art Museum; Tamiko Thiel’s “Gardens of the Anthropocene” and Victoria Haven’s “Blue Sun” both at the Olympic Sculpture Park. The summer programs feature a diverse range of bands and art activities that explore place-making, cultural confluences, and learning from our local environment.
Don’t miss this year’s special Thursday evenings including Dog Night, Bike Night, and an incredible partnership with the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Get active on Saturdays with an additional new 8 Limbs Yoga Centers yoga session at 9 am and 10:30 am, and grab the kids for Family Field Day. visitsam.org/summer
