Drawing Jam is Gage Academy of Art's annual winter event. Typically, the event is held in-person at the school, where attendees get to experience artist demos, activities, and live performances throughout the day, all over the building. Like last year, Drawing Jam will be an entirely LIVE VIRTUAL EVENT held on Saturday, December 11th from 10:00am-6:00pm.
Throughout the day, attendees will log into the online event platform and will be able to check out a variety of global artist demos, art panels, live model drawing, and more, all from the comfort of the attendee's home. The FREE event will be family-friendly and open to all ages from kids to teens to adults. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email that will include a link to the Drawing Jam Demo Page, where you will be able to access the schedule of demos, as well as individual Zoom links for those demos.

In recognition of the national examination of systemic racism and injustices, Gage Academy of Art is committed to continued analysis and expansion of our own institutional practices.
Land Acknowledgment: Gage Academy of Art would like to acknowledge that we stand on the traditional ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples—specifically the Duwamish People, past and present—and honor, with gratitude, the land itself, the Duwamish Tribe, and their ancient heritage. Without them, we would not have access to this gathering, dialogue and learning space. We ask that we take this opportunity to thank the original caretakers of this land, who are still here.
