Youth Arts Advisory Board

  ↵​​​​​​​At Gage Academy of Art, we believe youth are not just the future, they are powerful changemakers. The Youth Arts Advisory Board (YAAB) empowers young artists to take active roles in shaping the programs, policies, and spaces at Gage that directly impact them. Through leadership development, creative collaboration, and advocacy, YAAB members amplify their voices, foster equity, and build a sense of ownership in their communities. 

YAAB is more than a leadership opportunity, it’s a platform where confident, engaged youth lead change, influence decisions, and help build a more inclusive and responsive arts ecosystem. 

For current gage teen students, YAAB offers a unique opportunity to deepen their engagement, grow as leaders, and influence the future of youth programming at Gage. It’s a space where creative teens can connect, contribute, and confidently lead change, turning their ideas into action and their passion into impact.
