Since 1985, Seattle Public Schools has held the Naramore Art Show to share the artworks of its students and celebrate their achievements with the community. SAM is honored to display nearly 200 works of art by young artists from Seattle Public Schools on our walls.
Visitors can find reflections on everyday moments of peace, explore abstract representations of community, and escape to never-before-seen places. The Naramore Art Show will be open from April 2-June 1, 2025 in SAM's Community Gallery, located on the first floor of the museum.
SAM will hold a celebration of the 2025 Naramore Art Show on May 9, 2025 from 6–7 pm in South Hall. This will take place immediately before Teen Night Out, with attendees aged 13–19 being encouraged to stay for our exciting evening program of music, dance, and creativity created by teens, for teens.
