Friends Forever

We want you to be a part of something unforgettable this summer as the Seattle Art Museum transforms into a joyful skyscape with Little Cloud Sky (2025), a new commission by FriendsWithYou, the collaborative duo of artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III.

Known for their whimsical, uplifting creations, FriendsWithYou is internationally celebrated for spreading kindness and connection through art. Little Cloud Sky features 40 sculptures of the artists’ signature “Little Cloud” character, designed to spark joy and inspire connection. The work invites visitors to reflect on the beauty of togetherness and the wonder of nature.
