Critical
upgrades of the museum’s infrastructure to improve energy efficiency, climate
control, and structural integrity.
The Seattle Art Museum (SAM)
requests an Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant of $500,000
from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the renovation and
expansion of the Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM). This project has three
primary objectives: to make critical infrastructure upgrades that will bring
the 1933 facility in line with modern museum standards; to enhance the visitor
experience through a new and groundbreaking permanent collection installation,
new special exhibition galleries, and dedicated education and art making space;
and to improve the care of SAM’s renowned collection through modern
high-density storage and a conservation center for Asian paintings. The total
budget for this project is $54,000,000.
A Challenge Grant from the NEH, which will be matched 3:1, will help SAM
to generate broad public awareness of this project and to secure critical funding
from our community.
