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
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.

Best Bookstore: Beguiled Books
This Pioneer Square darling is easy to spot: pink doors and candy-striped details mark its home near Occidental Square. Beguiled Books started in 2024 as a mobile bookstore, making its way from table to tent to trailer, and finally to its current brick-and-mortar space.

Best Art Gallery: Foster/White Gallery
A pillar in Pioneer Square’s arts ecosystem, Foster/White Gallery opened in 1966 (then called Richard White Gallery) as the first space of its kind in the neighborhood.
