Dear SAM: A Love Letter From a Summer Intern
Dear SAM,
I usually begin letters more eloquently than this. There’s usually a smooth intro, a “how do you do,” a nifty tidbit about my life. But brutal honesty is all that’s coming to mind now and I think we’re now close enough for that. So here it goes: I am going to miss you immensely. And here’s why…
Art for the Stomach: TASTE’s Outdoor Cafe
TASTE at SAM just opened up an outdoor café. If you haven’t seen it already, it is located right at TASTE’s windows between University and Union along First Ave. Today, some members of the PR Department took a trip out to try the new venue.
Satisfaction Guaranteed for Thursday at the Park
FINALLY—we’re going to have nice summer weather for this week’s “Thursday at the Park,” an evening of live music, art and food at the Olympic Sculpture Park from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m.
I’m really looking forward to seeing hip-hop duo THEESatisfaction perform. Their energetic beats and tight rhymes are sure to get the crowd dancing.
Tonight’s “Art Hit” tour will feature On-Site artist, Gretchen Bennett, who will discuss her temporary work installed in the Olympic Sculpture Park. Coinciding with the event is the launch of Bennett’s new Publication Studio book, Windfall Alphabet, which showcases recent work by the artist, as well as an essay by New York-based art critic and writer, Jill Conner. The tour meets in the PACCAR Pavilion at 6:30 pm.
After the tour, maybe you’ll be inspired to make your own art. This week’s art activity is creating abstract pendants. Materials are supplied, and all ages are welcome to participate.
Say aloha to Pai’s Food Truck, which will be making its first appearance at the Olympic Sculpture Park this summer. Pai’s serves Thai-Hawaiian dishes, such as lemongrass huli huli chicken. Veraci Pizza, Whidbey Island Ice Cream and our very own TASTE will provide other yummy bites. This week’s doughnut from TASTE pastry chef Lucy Damkoehler is sweet cheese empanada. I had some last week, and while I don’t think they’re anything like an empanada, I would definitely say that they’re delicious.
See you at the Sculpture Park in the sun!

Latin Jazz, Art Making, and More at Thursday at the Park
At last week’s “Thursday at the Park,” at the Olympic Sculpture Park, I did not intend on making a new friend.
Thursdays at the Park–Rain or Shine!
So the weather isn’t exactly what we were hoping it would be like for the Olympic Sculpture Park’s first Thursday Night at the Park of the summer season. However, this being Seattle, we are fully prepared.
Spend Your Summer with SAM
People in Seattle make the most of the all-too-short summers and so does SAM! We’ve got a diverse array of art exhibitions, events and experiences at all three of our sites this summer. Whether you’re interested in Bollywood, baseball, yoga or landscape painting, we’ve got you covered.
Molly Moon’s Ice Cream at Community Night Out
Leo, the Molly Moon’s ice cream truck, will be bringing scoops and smiles to March to the Center of the Earth: Community Night Out on May 5 at SAM Downtown.
Feeling more like a savory snack? Dante’s Inferno Dogs will also be at the event.
And of course TASTE will be providing tasty treats as well.
