Gage Academy of Art Youth Programs are dedicated to providing traditional and innovative visual arts education for all youth. We believe early training in the arts transforms an individual's capacity for creativity, compassion and cultural awareness.

Kids weekly workshops include visual art and performance art. Hands-on projects and on-on-one instruction help kids learn to use their creative energy to see, move and create like an artist.

Kids ages 6 to 11 use their imaginations to try out new ideas as they learn about the elements of art. Usual kids classes include instruction in Comics, Improv, Printmaking, Dance, Drawing, Game Design, Painting, Hip Hop, Mixed Media, Clay, Drumming, and Mask making.

Teen weekly workshops include classes in both visual and applied art, where professional-artist instructors work with students one-on-one to push their skill levels and unlock their creativity as they work with the essential elements of art.

Teens ages 12 to 17 sharpen their creative skills with time-tested artistic methods, using their own ideas as they investigate their own unique artistic style. Typical Teen classes include Watercolor Illustration, Figure Drawing, Mixed-Media Sculpture, Abstract Painting, Do-It-Yourself Design, Fantasy Drawing, Printmaking, Figure Painting, Paper Construction, Portrait Sculpting, Portrait Drawing, Cartooning, Installation and Mosaic Portraits.
