Seattle Art Museum: Press Release

SEATTLE, May 13, 2010 – SAM Remix returns on June 4, bringing art, music and more to every corner of the Seattle Art Museum (SAM).

Remix takes place from 8 pm-midnight at SAM, 1300 First Avenue in Downtown Seattle. Up-to-date information can be found on the museum’s website at www.seattleartmuseum.org.

The current exhibitions Kurt and love fear pleasure lust pain glamour death – Andy Warhol Media Works are the jumping off points for many of the Remix events, which include celebrations of fame – old, new fleeting, and enduring – from a pop culture fashion show and a special presentation by Fashion Designer and Project Runway Season 7 winner Seth Aaron Henderson, to a chance to create your own silkscreen t-shirts in the Remix Factory.
