Gage Perspectives is a series of lectures and artist talks that represent Gage's commitment to offer our community the opportunity to engage with contemporary artists, art historians, and scholars on the subject of art, life, and the artistic practice. Gage Perspectives is comprised of three different series:
New Sensibilities, In Conversation with Gary Faigin: New Sensibilities is dedicated to exploring the work of contemporary artists who are responding through their artistic practice, to cultural, political, and aesthetic transformations in the fabric of our society.
Art History Lecture Series: Comprised of 4 lectures, one per academic quarter, the Art History Lecture series brings art historians, scholars, and contemporary artists to Gage who offer an in-depth reflection on artistic trends, shifts, and narratives through the lens of art history.
Instructional Lecture Series: Our year-long program of instructional lectures, led by Atelier instructors Gary Faigin, Mike Magrath, and Geoff Flack, cover a wide range of principles and techniques, which are usually only available to Atelier students, ranging from the construction of believable space in a drawing or painting, to the basic architecture of the human body.
New Sensibilities @ Town Hall: $5 for non-members, free to Gage members.
Art History Lecture Series: $15 for non-members. Free to Gage members.
Instructional Lecture series: Sliding Scale.

Gage Academy of Art acknowledges the Coast Salish Peoples as the original inhabitants of this area and connecting waterways. We understand the land that Gage occupies is unceded territory and that today many Indigenous peoples live here and without their stewardship, we would not have access to this space. We honor the Coast Salish Peoples’ sovereignty, rights to self-determination, culture and ways of life. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have called this territory their sacred land. We commit to learning, educating others and repairing the legacy of historically harmful relationships between non-Native and Native peoples in King County. In doing so, we will be honest, and recognize the experiences of Native peoples to include genocide, forced relocation, forced assimilation, and land theft. We also acknowledge Native peoples are survivors, present in today’s world, thriving. We encourage everyone here today to ask themselves: what can I do to support Indigenous communities?
In an effort to be transparent, Gage is contemplating this call to action and re-working how to best support Indigenous communities.
