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.

Northwest Tune-Up Bike and Music Festival Brings Big Air and Loud Sets to Bellingham

If I were to summarize the sensation of attending Northwest Tune-Up, Bellingham’s three-day bike and music festival, in one image, it would be watching Tomomi Nishikubo—a Japanese street trials biker—doing acrobatic acts of derring-do on his bike while Seattle rockers Thunderpussy shred in the distance.
