Subject: Updates from SAM on Art Beyond Sight

Dear Art Beyond Sight supporters,

I hope you are all well. I'm reaching out to confirm what you likely already knew-that the April 25 and May 20 Art Beyond Sight Tours are canceled.  The Seattle Art Museum remains closed until further notice and all programs are canceled at least until July 1.

One thing I've noticed is how much art has helped heal, process, and find joy during this challenging time. At SAM, we are still working to connect art to life for all of our audiences even without access to the physical museum. I hope you can check out these digital resources while you are staying at home.


1.                   We were supposed to be meeting at the Seattle Asian Art Museum on Saturday. Instead, you can listen to SAM's Low or No Vision Audio Tours by clicking here:  https://soundcloud.com/seattle-art-museum. The featured tour on this site is of the newly renovated and-briefly-reopened Seattle Asian Art Museum.

2.                   In May, we were going to explore the work of multimedia artist Aaron Fowler,  the recipient of SAM's Jacob Lawrence and Gwendolyn Knight Prize. This young man has a lot to say - you can listen to his artist talk from a few years' back here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U37ClwLXOIs<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U37ClwLXOIs%20> .

3.                   For updates, behind-the-scene features, and art activities follow the SAM Blog here: http://samblog.seattleartmuseum.org/. We're posting new content just about daily.

If you have other avenues that we can all connect with or feedback for ways SAM can remain accessible during this time, please respond to this email or email access at seattleartmuseum.org<mailto:access at seattleartmuseum.org>.

I hope to see you all again soon. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy.
Best,
Kelsey
