SAM is the only fine art museum in Northwest Colorado. Housed in the iconic First National Bank / Rehder Building (1905/1920) on the National Registry of Historic Places, the museum is located in the heart of Steamboat’s Creative District and the Historic Downtown District. Established in 2006, the museum has developed a strong national reputation presenting original artwork by living masters whose work is relevant to the culture and heritage of the West. The recent 5,000-square-foot rehabilitation pays tribute to the building’s rich history with exposed beams, stained glass and refurbished locally quarried stone walls. This provides an exquisite setting for its rotating exhibitions, including retrospective exhibitions and group shows. Three exhibitions are presented yearly, December - April, May - September, with the annual Steamboat Art Museum Plein Air Event and Exhibit from late September through October each year. Admission is free, donations are welcome.
