Marks With Feeling
Open Daily, Wednesday - Sunday, Fri May 29th, 2026 - Sun Aug 16th, 2026
Come see the artistic result of partnership between the Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA) and the Seattle Art Museum. Over the course of the 2025-2026 school year, ReWA students explored a work of art in SAM’s Lang Collection and created artistic responses during SAM's Art Adventures classroom visits.
Drawing inspiration from Joan Mitchell's painting, The Sink, students explored a variety of art techniques to create the mixed media pieces you'll see in the community gallery. Just as Mitchell utilized color, line, and texture to create bold abstract art steeped in emotion and memory, these young artists layered prints, rubbings, and drawings to create art packed with joy, personality, and energy.
Can you find marks, lines, and colors that jump out to you? How do they make you feel?
Rachel Kotkin, SAM Teaching Artist
The artworks displayed in this gallery were made by students ages 3 to 5, from the Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA) Early Learning Centers in Beacon Hill, Martin Luther King Way, and Lake City. This exhibition is made possible through SAM and ReWA’s Art Adventures Partnership.
