Community Focus

Event organizer’s description:

Join us in celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights! Explore the galleries and a youth art exhibition, make art together, enjoy live performances, capture memories, and share delicious treats while experiencing the vibrant cultural traditions of India.

Host organization:
This 1933 Art Deco building in lush Volunteer Park is SAM’s original home and the location of our extensive Asian art collection, making it one of the most beloved treasures in our creative, cultured, and curious city. The newly renovated and expanded Asian Art Museum breaks boundaries to offer a thematic, rather than geographic or chronological, exploration of art from the world’s largest continent. The restoration of the historic Art Deco building, improvements to critical systems, expanded gallery and education spaces, and a new park lobby that connects the museum to the surrounding Volunteer Park are just some of the ways the Asian Art Museum has been transformed and preserved as a cultural and community resource for future generations. The Seattle Art Museum acknowledges that we are located on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people.
