Create and connect in the Brotman Forum every first, second, and third Saturday. This lively space is filled with hands-on art making, concerts, and moments of community—all inspired by SAM’s permanent collections and exhibitions.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a curious newcomer, or just looking for a place to recharge this weekend, you’re always welcome. Learn about art through interactive activities, meet new friends, or simply enjoy the atmosphere before exploring the galleries.
Programs in SAM’s entry gathering spaces are always free and open to everyone. Food and beverages from Shooby Doo Catering will be available for purchase in the Brotman Forum. Bring your curiosity and imagination, we’ll provide the rest.
