Frank Feltens to Lead Seattle Art Museum | Vancouver News

Seattle Art Museum has tapped Frank Feltens, a 43-year-old curator from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art, to lead its artistic direction — a major move that signals a fresh, community-focused vision. Feltens will oversee SAM’s entire collection, including its Asian Art Museum and Olympic Sculpture Park, while filling critical roles like Native American art curator. Working alongside CEO Scott Stulen, he’s committed to making art more relevant, engaging, and reflective of Seattle’s diverse communities. With plans to expand through traveling exhibitions and deepen local storytelling, Feltens aims to transform SAM from a tourist destination into a vital cultural hub — where everyone sees themselves.
