Fri Oct 24 2025

6–9 pm

Seattle Art Museum

Le Carreau des Halles, 1880, Victor Gabriel Gilbert, French, 1847-1933, oil on panel, 21 1/8 x 29 in., Musée d’art moderne André Malraux, Malraux, Le Havre, Courtesy American Federation of Arts

Premier members are invited to join us for the opening of Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism at the Seattle Art Museum.

Silhouette Sketches, Sister City Culinary Exploration, Art Activity | 6–9 pm | Brotman Forum and Simonyi Special Exhibition Galleries
Step into the frame as artist Jenny Gunter captures your portrait silhouette in a timeless sketch and explore the exhibition while learning about Seattle’s sister city—Nantes, France! Pick up a culinary exploration guide from the check-in table and connect the art to French recipes provided by the Seattle-Nantes Sister City Association along the way. Show your completed sheet to a member of the association or a staff member at the entrance to receive a small sleeve of cookies for your group (while supplies last) made in Nantes! Plus, create your own masterpiece inspired by the exhibition at our art activity table.

Exhibition Overview | 6:30 pm | Plestcheeff Auditorium
Theresa Papanikolas, SAM Ann M. Barwick Curator of American Art

Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis with overflow seating available in the Nordstrom Lecture Hall. Should capacity be reached, a second overview may be added at 7 pm. The talk will be recorded and made available the week after the event. 

Art, Food, Drinks & Live Music | 7–9 pm | Brotman Forum and Galleries
Explore the exhibition, delight in wine and hors d'oeuvres and take in beautiful music by Lulu Swing.
