Play, picnic, create, and frolic this summer at the Olympic Sculpture Park! SAM presents an entire magical summer season packed full of programs that combine visual art, movement, music, community, and a sprinkle of fairy dust. 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.
This season of Summer at SAM features live music and performances presented in partnership with Sonic Guild, art-making curated by The Cutie Foundation and warm up beats by DJ Clover.
Sonic Guild Concerts
Midnight High
Midnight High is a dream-pop band based out of Seattle, WA. Blending elements of 80âs synthpop, alt-pop, and indie rock with strong lead vocals, lush harmonies, and modern production, Midnight High embodies a sound that is both contemporary and deeply nostalgic.
Babes in Canyon
Eloquently blending synth-folk, moody pop, and soaring vocal harmonies, Babes in Canyon crafts music that is eminently engaging and very much of the moment. Born of a spontaneous writing session during a blackout, the band wandered naturally into the land of heavy beats, lyrics with an element of storytelling, and synth-folk instrumentation with a twist.
Art Activities
Make a fairy trinket with rotating artists curated by The Cutie Foundation.
