Gabriella Calandro, SAM’s Head of Engagement, couldn’t be more excited about this new chapter for the art precinct:

“We’re thrilled to be introducing Bar SAM to our community this month. The regular opening of our Level 4 bar to the public has been highly anticipated since 2021, and we’re excited to give people a new experience to enjoy as part of our region’s hospitality scene. Bar SAM offers a new way of engaging with the museum, and we are excited to team up with our friends, Elsewhere at SAM, to make this a great after-hours museum experience.”
