SAM
Teen Night Out at the SAM is a free event for high school students. This Friday, December 9, mosey down to the museum for an evening of art and music. The Garfield High School Drum Line will be there shaking the art on the walls, and the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra will emanate instrumental melodies throughout the evening. Also, Seattle’s own Blue Scholars will be special guests for the evening.
Seattle Central Community College
Graduating students of the Film & Video program at Seattle Central Community College will have a public viewing of their culminating projects at the Seattle Art Museum tomorrow night. An industry screening committee selected 8-12 films to be featured in the showcase. The works range from narrative shorts to documentaries to public service announcements. Pieces were filmed on a variety of formats including 16mm, Super 8mm film, HD video and standard definition video. Following the show, there will be a reception for attendees to meet the filmmakers and instructors.

Call the Seattle Art Museum’s Remix event an unorthodox tour. Call it a pseudo-dance party. Just try not to call it educational, please. SAM started Remix about a year ago to be the museum’s “young contemporary hip night,” Jackson-Dumont said. But the old Remixes ended at 9 p.m., and the feedback Jackson-Dumont received indicated that people wanted more. “They felt they could spend significant amounts of time at the museum,” she said. With that in mind, the creators of the museum’s new, now-quarterly Remix have lengthened the hours from 8 p.m. to midnight, stepped back from some conventional night-at-the-museum ideas and re-crafted others to appeal to the 18-to-35-year-old demographic. “It’s called Remix because it really is about mixing up the institution, making it a place that’s not really what someone would expect,” Jackson-Dumont said.
