1st Thursday at SAM

Join us for Free Thursday at the Seattle Art Museum—a little creative field trip for writers, artists, and curious minds who want to refill the well. We’ll wander through the galleries together, letting paintings, sculptures, and strange little details spark new ideas. Sometimes a single image can unlock a story you didn’t even know was hiding inside you. Bring a notebook if you’d like. Jot down impressions. Sketch something that catches your eye. Or just soak in the art and the quiet energy of a room full of creativity. After exploring, we’ll gather for a casual conversation about what inspired us and how art can wake up our writing. No pressure. No formal workshop. Just creativity, community, and a little artistic wandering. If your imagination could use a breath of fresh air, come along.
