Teen Art Studios (TAS), is a free, year-round, youth arts program that increases access to arts education for 1,500 King County youth, ages 13-18, who face barriers or limited access to creative outlets and who are experiencing homelessness, or are at-risk, LGBTQIA, underserved, or speak English as a second language. TAS offers 100% free weekly Friday evening drop-in sessions for teens. Professional teaching artists facilitate each session and introduce a new subject and medium—from drawing, sculpting, painting and printmaking, to visual storytelling, cartooning, and digital animation.
Support from YOU will provide resources to sustain and grow TAS and ensure that TAS meets the needs of low-income youth and youth experiencing homelessness so that they experience pivotal outcomes. In addition to developing creative skills, program participants report personal growth, improved abilities to forge strong peer relationships, and self-dedication to community involvement.
