Mind if we share some kudos of our own? Gage is the recipient of TWO awards 🏆
 
One award is from Seattle’s Child’s 2026 Family Favorites! A contest where local families across Seattle voted and celebrate their favorite businesses, camps, services, and places. We are so honored to make that list. We love getting to offer youth classes, summer camps, Teen Art Studios and provide our local youth with access to the arts 💫
 
The second is from Seattle Gay News where Gage won “Best Art Class”! We might be biased but we have some of the best teaching artists educating our communities 😉
 
These awards are made possible thanks to supporters, students, artists and arts enthusiasts, community members like you all. We share these awards with you!

Gage’s core principle is artists are made, not born 💫

For Gary Faigin, our late co-founder and artistic director emeritus, that was the case. Opening during Best of Gage, we’ll have a special exhibition featuring portraits from Gary’s artistic career starting in the 70’s to his final years.

You’ll see self-portraits from Gary before he received his formal training at the Art Students League in New York and the Écoledes Beaux-Arts in Paris. It was that training and the journey that came with it that inspired the founding of Gage ✨

Shout out to Pamela Belyea for letting us share a range of Gary’s work ❤️

Tomorrow is All Atelier Day (AAD), a celebration of our Atelier students and the work they’ve made in their respective programs 🎉

We’re sharing Matthew Thompson’s, one of AADs presenting students, reasoning for joining the Classical Atelier in the first place 🤔

Something special about AAD is that all 6 of our Atelier Directors and special guest juror, Grace Flott, are coming together and providing students with valuable feedback on their work.
 
That’s 7 unique and professional perspectives that ultimately work to strengthen each presenting artist!
 
If being a part of a learning community that fosters dedication, skill development, and a commitment to fine arts as a career sounds interesting to you, don’t hesitate to reach out for more info 🤩
 
We hope you join us at AAD in person or online via Zoom. You can find more details at www.gageacademy.org/events 💫

🥁🥁🥁 Drum roll please…. The guest juror for All Atelier Day is 👏

A classically trained Seattle based painter, Flott creates figurative paintings and portraiture that challenge ideas of health, beauty, gender, and normalcy. Her work blends Renaissance iconography with contemporary narratives to explore representation through a feminist disability justice lens.

From lectures, awards & residencies, group and solo exhibitions, Flott’s CV is stacked! Her expertise as an artist and her unique perspective will make her a great addition to All Atelier Day 🙌

Swipe for details to see how you can join us for All Atelier Day in person or online (zoom link coming soon) 🙂‍↕️
