Seattle Art Museum

Hazy Daze, Liz Tran, mixed media on canvas, 48 x 60 in. (SOLD)

Come celebrate joy, connection, and creativity at SAM Gallery!

Join SAM Gallery artists and friends for Overcast, inspired by FriendsWithYou: Little Cloud Sky—the whimsical new installation at Seattle Art Museum by FriendsWithYou.

In this group show, local artists respond to the playful spirit of Little Cloud Sky, exploring themes of connection and the beauty of being together. Featuring a wide range of styles and media, Overcast is a vibrant celebration of art’s ability to uplift and unite. Artists in the show include Liz Tran, Nikita Ares, Kalina Winska, Nichole DeMent, Juliana Kang Robinson, and more.

Join us for a first look with the artists on Thursday, August 7, 5:30–6:30 pm and an artist's reception on Saturday, August 16, 2–4 pm.
