On January 20–22, 2017 the Seattle Art Museum will be FREE to the public.
The entire community is invited to SAM’s downtown location to enjoy and connect with the diverse art and ideas represented in our collection and to see an amazing new exhibition.
Over these three days, all permanent collection galleries will be free. Starting Saturday, January 21, visitors will also be able to see the new special exhibition Jacob Lawrence: The Migration Series. Acclaimed as Lawrence’s masterwork, this epic series comprises 60 tempera paintings and chronicles in words and pictures the mass exodus of African Americans from the rural South to the industrial North in the decades after the First World War. The SAM exhibition provides a rare opportunity to see the entire series which has not been shown on the West Coast in two decades.
