Become inspired by the breadth of Joyce J. Scott’s work in Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams. In the galleries, explore Scott's artistic practice which extends from beadwork, sculpture, textiles, jewelry, printmaking, and performances that challenge the hierarchy of art and craft. Engage with other educators, sign up for school tours, pick up related K-12 classroom resources in the educator lounge, and enjoy additional programs as part of Free First Thursday. SAM will provide appetizers, wine, and a related art activity.

Free with registration for K–12 educators, paraeducators, subject area coaches, administrators, teaching artists, and arts education advocates. Registration includes one educator and one guest.

Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams is co-organized by the Seattle Art Museum and Baltimore Museum of Art.

This exhibition and national tour are made possible by substantial grants from the Ford Foundation, Henry Luce Foundation, Terra Foundation for American Art, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
