About Us
The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is a prominent cultural institution located in Seattle, Washington. It is dedicated to enriching lives through art by providing a diverse range of exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives. SAM operates three major facilities: the Seattle Art Museum in downtown Seattle, the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park, and the Olympic Sculpture Park on the waterfront.
Sustainability is a key focus for the Seattle Art Museum. The museum has implemented several initiatives to reduce its environmental impact and promote sustainability. These include energy-efficient lighting systems, waste reduction programs, and the use of sustainable materials in exhibitions and facilities. The Olympic Sculpture Park, in particular, is a model of sustainable design, featuring native plantings and green infrastructure to manage stormwater naturally.
While specific ESG reports or carbon footprint calculations for SAM are not publicly detailed, the museum's commitment to sustainability is evident in its operations and community engagement efforts. SAM continues to explore new ways to integrate sustainable practices into its daily operations and long-term planning.
