Winter in the Park

The Olympic Sculpture Park is open 365 days a year, and no matter the season, Seattle loves its monumental sculptures and dramatic views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. This year, our programs connecting you to the park’s collection get you moving, making, and thinking year-round!
Winter Residency
During the winter months, an artist residency activates the Olympic Sculpture Park and supports the artistic practice of a contemporary Indigenous artist living in the Pacific Northwest.
You are invited to become a part of the process through two participatory programs led by this year’s artist-in-residence on select Friday evenings in January and February. Get inspired by learning about meaningful artistic practices and participating in experiences that respond to the Olympic Sculpture Park and the Seattle region.
SAM Lights
Light up your winter with SAM’s free program connecting all ages to art and the environment. Experience the wonder of the iconic sculptures lit with the glow of luminaria. Art making, live music, hot beverages, and sweet treats will offer everyone a way to enjoy the glow of the park.
