Members will have the museum to themselves on a Monday when we're not open to the public! Enjoy smaller crowds with exclusive access to Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei and the rest of the museum.

Plus, delight in special programming throughout the day, including:

2–7 pm | Brotman Forum
A drop-in art activity where you can create your own Ai Weiwei-inspired zodiac head.

2–7:30 pm | Plestcheeff Auditorium
Screenings of In Conversation with Ai Weiwei, where you can learn more about the artist in his conversation with FOONG Ping, SAM Foster Foundation Curator of Chinese Art.

3 pm | Simonyi Special Exhibition Galleries
A docent-led tour of Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei.

4–7 pm | Brotman Forum
Live music by Shelby Natasha, whose sound blends alt-R&B and Chinese folk music. Influenced by her upbringing between China and the Pacific Northwest, her ethereal vocals are accompanied by the traditional Chinese instrument, Guzheng, and layered over lo-fi beats.

4–7:30 pm | Brotman Forum
A Shooby Doo bar with drinks, snacks, and charcuterie boxes for purchase.

6 pm | Simonyi Special Exhibition Galleries
A docent-led tour of Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei.

Docent-led tours are available on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 25 members. To attend, be sure to reserve your ticket for the tour time of your choice. Please note, ticket holders for a later time slot cannot enter early, and re-entry is not permitted. If you're unable to join at these times, don't worry. Additional tours will be available during future Member Mondays.

Be sure to get your tickets early to reserve your preferred time slot for Ai, Rebel. Future Member Monday ticket releases will be announced throughout the run of the exhibition. Keep an eye on your inbox for updates.

Not a member? Join today to take advantage of this exclusive perk and many other benefits just for SAM members.
