Classical Training
for Contemporary Artists

Gage Academy of Art is celebrating more than 20 years as a vibrant extended-learning and contemporary art center, providing community based artistic development for artists of all ages and abilities. Featuring year-round programs that engage and inspire, Gage is home to public art events, lectures, youth programming, and exhibitions.

Programs for adults focus on the practical applications of art theory, exploring both the techniques and the aesthetic issues of artmaking with a proven framework to accelerate the growth of your artistic skills.

Programs for youth encourage young artists aged 6-18 to explore new materials and techniques, develop creative problem solving skills and celebrate self-expression.







"An art school can be much more than a place where students learn to paint, draw or sculpt; it can also be an incubator of ideas, a catalyst for creativity and a contributor to the cultural legacy of its community. An art school can change lives; it can help shape history."

-Gary Faigin, Gage co-founder, Artistic Director
