SAM Connects Art to Life

At SAM, we believe art enriches life. We've seen how art can inspire creativity, communication, and a cooperative spirit. That's why we're working actively to connect art to life: expanding the ways we welcome the community, deepening the SAM experience for our visitors, and heading out into the community to help make the arts a part of everyday life for people of all backgrounds.

	Wondering what difference an art museum can make? From artists to families, we interviewed people from all over the community to find out what the museum and arts mean to them. Check out the interviews in streaming video!

	SAM offers special opportunities for groups and organizations. Find out how you and/or your organization can enjoy the benefits of the community connections at SAM.

	Our visitors and the community are at the heart of what we do. In our report, Deepening the Dialogue: Art & Audience, you can learn about our efforts to respond to your feedback through a four-year initiative funded by the Wallace Foundation.

	Explore our research findings about our visitors’ priorities, experiences and observations.
