Teen Art Studios

Teen Art Studios (TAS), is a free, year-round, youth arts program that increases access to arts education for 1,500 King County youth, ages 13-18, who face barriers or limited access to creative outlets.  

TAS offers 100% free weekly Friday evening drop-in sessions for teens. Professional teaching artists facilitate each session and rotate monthly to introduce a new subject and medium from drawing, sculpting, painting and printmaking, to visual storytelling, cartooning, and digital animation.

All materials are included. ​​​​​​​
