Seattle Art Museum Creates Innovative Ways to Showcase New Exhibits

Seattle, Wa. Like many other businesses being affected by COVID-19 the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) has had to make adjustments when it comes to showcasing exhibits to the public. For the past two months, the Seattle Art Museum has implemented a new way to experience its various art pieces and themes. “Stay Home With SAM” a new addition to its website which is explained as a chance to  “share art activities for all ages, videos, interviews, art news, and more to keep you connected to art.” This page allows the public to learn about new exhibits coming soon as well as behind the scene interviews with the artists.

Preview for Barbara Earl Thomas and her new exhibition opening in November.

This new collection according to Barbara Earl Thomas is “a new body of work admits the turmoil and crises of the past year.” Thomas also goes on to say, “it is the chaos of living and the grief of our time that compels me, philosophically, emotionally and artistically. I am a witness and a chronicler.” This upcoming event will be displayed in November.
