<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Art Beyond Sight supporters,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<a href="https://soundcloud.com/seattle-art-museum">https://soundcloud.com/seattle-art-museum</a>. The featured tour on this site is of the newly renovated and—briefly—reopened Seattle Asian Art Museum.<o:p></o:p></p>
