Member Appreciation Days

Three people sit on the floor indoors, smiling and making heart shapes with their arms and hands. Two people form a heart above, while the person in the middle makes a flower shape with their hands under their chin.

Member Month 

This May, don’t just visit—move in! Member Month is your invitation to make Seattle Art Museum your third space. Create, wander, and follow your curiosity through art making, expert-led tours, member-only perks, and a few delightful surprises along the way. You’re the reason SAM feels alive, and all month long we’re turning the spotlight on you with member-first programming across all three locations.

All-Month Perks

Enjoy these benefits when you visit in May:

  1. Bring a friend for free admission every visit*
  2. Scavenger hunts (and prizes!) for adults and kids at all three locations
  3. Take-home art activities designed by SAM teaching artist, Carolina Silva
  4. Complimentary drip coffee and tea every Wednesday
  5. Double discounts at SAM Shop and 10% off completed purchases at SAM Gallery on select days in-store and online
  6. Weekly member tours that alternate between our three sites

*Each member can bring one guest more than what their membership typically allows to the galleries and any complimentary member events throughout the month of May.

The benefits of SAM membership

Double discounts three times a year and unlimited free admission are only some of the many reasons a SAM membership makes sense for anyone who appreciates art.
