About

Create art that connects you and your family with the art on view at SAM. Each Family Saturday features activities that include storytelling, art making, gallery tours, performances, or movement workshops.

Join us on first Saturdays at the Seattle Art Museum for storytime, a family-focused gallery tour, and art making, as part of Saturdays at SAM!

Family Saturdays at the Olympic Sculpture Park are a chance to make art and learn about the local environment.

Keep an eye out for special Family Saturdays inspired by specific exhibitions throughout the year.
