Celebrate the start to our Summer Exhibitions with the first look at 8 brand new shows and exhibits including Sea of Vapors, and immersive installation by Emily Counts in the True Space. Plus, a full bar by The Hideout, set by DJ Phosho, and more await.

We cannot wait for the new season with you, and share a whole host of programming around the museum:

• SOFT TOUCH is an immersive, tactile survey of soft sculpture and textile art featuring over 40 artists from the Pacific Northwest and far beyond. 

• Lilia Deering invites you to climb inside the depths of a slime monster in her mixed media installation, Enslimed in Toilet #1 

• Mariana Guthiem explores the impact of technology on architecture and creative processes through an immersive installation in Toilet #2 that uses live tracing in AutoCAD to navigate the space between virtuality and reality

• Fondly Yours, a collection valedictions; a handful of balloon ribbons; eight short films about love and loneliness: soft joys and snack-sized heartbreak opens in The Mudede Theater.

• The Video Stairwell gets a refresh with an interactive algorithmic botany exhibit by Sabin Timalsena that allows the viewer to create infinite variations of trees in real-time and destroy them at will.

• Middle school students from Westside School debut new work in The Emergence Room, curated by Colleen Louise Barry

• The Supperfield Museum of Contemporary Art returns with an all new exhibition of miniature art

• Ummagumma, MoM's Broadway-facing sound installation, projects the sounds of BANGER, a selection of poetry curated by Richard Chiem featuring work by Quenton Baker, Kamari Bright, EJ Koh, and Rae Armantrout

• Locker #141 showcases the work of the museum's insect residents in "The Crawler's Museum," by Catherine Croft.
