Concerts, dancing, yoga and family festivals comprise "Get Out!" - a series of summer programs at Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park.

Seattle Art Museum is calling the ramped-up schedule of events "Get Out!" and the lineup includes outdoor concerts, drop-in yoga classes, park tours, a pet parade, dance lessons and two family-friendly festivals, all free. A Thursday-afternoon farmers market opens on July 15 (3:30-7:30 p.m.) and continues through Sept. 9. SAM Deputy Director for Education & Public Programs Sandra Jackson-Dumont says the summerlong round of activities is intended to be "a major moment in the downtown corridor."

As for the art itself, a few changes are in store, starting with the installation of George Rickey's "Horizontal No. III" (1973) this week. The Rickey is a stainless-steel kinetic piece that will be positioned just off the park's upper path, near the PACCAR Pavilion. Marisa Sanchez, SAM's assistant curator of Modern & Contemporary Art, points out that Rickey was inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder, whose "Eagle" (one of Calder's stationary works) is nearby. (Note: Anthony Caro's multilegged "Riviera" has been removed from the pavilion's terrace, preventing visitors from accidentally finding themselves "in the midst of a sculpture," Sanchez says with a smile.)

Inside the pavilion, Geoff Mc-Fetridge's playful "In the Mind" will be replaced in late August by Texan artist Trenton Doyle Hancock's "A Better Promise." Two years in the making, "Promise" is a monumental painted aluminum sculpture of a hand suspended from the ceiling. Below it, containers will be positioned to "receive" color, which visitors are encouraged to bring in the form of plastic bottle caps. Color, Sanchez explains, plays a sight-enhancing role in a good-versus-evil saga that Hancock has dreamed up.

On June 12, five West Coast artists will "activate the park," Sanchez says, with "ephemeral" pieces, among them Seattle's Jenny Heishman. Her contribution is a three-part piece consisting of a topiary turtle, an awning and a checkered marble beach towel. Jessica Jackson Hutchins, of Portland, also strikes a summery theme - with hammocks ("most likely made out of clothes," Sanchez says).

Seattle's Whiting Tennis will do double duty in the park, performing with his band on July 22 (check them out at www.myspace.com/whitingtennismusic) and installing a wood sculpture, too (go to www.gregkucera.com for a look at his work). Also in the works are pieces by Vancouver, B.C.'s, Andrew Dadson and Los Angeles' Mungo Thompson.

Here are some summer highlights, all free and all starting at 5:30 p.m., unless otherwise indicated. Concerts will be held outdoors in the Gates Amphitheater (or, in the event of bad weather, in the PACCAR Pavilion).
