Gage Academy Celebrates 25 Years with Pop-up Drawing Events
Brush up on your drawing skills at a Gage Academy of Art pop-up Drawing Jam
By Kirsten Abel July 8, 2015
Want to try your hand at some observational drawing? Gage Academy of Art, an independent art school that trains students in the principles of drawing, painting and sculpting, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with free pop-up events where you’ll draw a different scenic view, live model or object to your heart’s content. The ongoing summer event–known as 25 Jams–is a version of the school’s annual Drawing Jam in which it invites budding artists to draw from a live model.
Art supplies and easels are provided, so simply bring your endless creativity and then party down with live music, food truck noshes and family-friendly activities galore.
Gage Academy has programs for adults and kids, including a teen drop-in art studio and summer classes. For more information about its programs, check out gageacademy.org.

Back to Gander
Seattle Rep revisits its original world premiere with a new staging that pulls you straight into the heart of the story.
When you walk into the theater, the cast is already onstage in what looks like a Gander high school gym—setting out dishes for a potluck, chatting, and then cleaning up. It feels like you’ve arrived in the middle of a reunion, which is the point. This run marks 10 years since Come From Away first…
Seattle’s Big Holiday Arts Guide
A full lineup of seasonal performances across local theaters and venues.
In the words of William Shakespeare, “All’s well that ends well.” Local theater and arts organizations are hoping for exactly that.

In their first solo museum exhibition in Seattle, artist Camille Trautman uses photography to reclaim history, narrative, and self-expression.
You have probably seen Camille Trautman’s work without even realizing it. A huge photograph—20 feet wide—is currently hanging across the exterior of the Frye Art Museum, visible to passersby driving along Boren Avenue. The image is of a wooded landscape in black and white. Its edges are vacuous, with trees swallowed by darkness, but the…
