With your donation, Gage will revive the in-person youth programs like Teen Art Studio (TAS), 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. 

Your gift will provide the resources to sustain and grow TAS and ensure we meet the needs of our  youth. Students develop creative skills, engage in personal growth, improve their ability to forge strong peer relationships, and become more involved in local their community. The donations we receive help provide this 100% free weekly drop-in, safe space opportunity for teens! 

With your generous gift, we will ensure that our community of teaching artists, models, studio monitors, students, and staff continues to thrive and support the local economy right here in Seattle. Above all, your generosity will help Gage's vision of a world where the visual arts are valued. The work of artists is regarded as a critical viewpoint that supports a genuinely diverse democracy.
