Grounds and Pavilion

Play, picnic, and create this summer at the Olympic Sculpture Park! SAM presents an entire summer season packed full of programs that combine visual art, music, and community. All Summer at SAM programs are free, public, and suitable for all ages. There is no outside alcohol permitted in the Olympic Sculpture Park.

Thursday evenings bring the party with performances by Seattle-based musicians, hands-on art activities to inspire your creativity, and rotating local food trucks.

It’s Member Appreciation Night, too!

Generous support from our members allows us to continue our mission of connecting art to life in our Seattle community day after day. To say thank you, celebrate with us with special member perks during the night's festivities! Stop by our Membership table for complimentary Seattle Pops, awesome giveaways, lawn games, and to gather for an exclusive 30-min docent-led tour of Olympic Sculpture Park at 6 pm.

We would love to see you at this public event to enjoy member perks. Tickets are not required. Not a member? Join today!

Sonic Guild Concerts
Terror/Cactus is the digital folklore and psychedelic electro-cumbia project of MartĂ­n Selasco. Born in Buenos Aires and raised in Miami, the Seattle-based producer draws from a wide variety of Latin American influences in his productions including Argentine folk, Peruvian chicha, and Colombian cumbia

Byland is the moniker and last name of Seattle-based and Albuquerque-raised singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Alie Renee. The artist’s cinematic, indie-rock sound is tethered by timeless songwriting and attentive production.

Art Activity
Inspired by ARTE NOIR's current exhibition, Parallel Perspectives, join artists L.Haz and Wolf Delux as they guide you through an interactive art activity. Using geometric patterns and shapes, and intricate lines, you'll learn how to use shapes and symbols to encode words and messages that tell a story.

Dinner & Drinks
Grab a bite during the concert from local food trucks Off The Rez and Mami Tran. Additional snacks and beverages will be available for purchase from Shooby Doo Catering in the PACCAR Pavilion.
