Youth Atelier

  ↵The Youth Atelier (YA) at Gage Academy of Art is a year-long/multi-year program designed to prepare young creatives for college and careers in the arts through immersive, advanced instruction. Focused on technical mastery, creative independence, and professional development, the program offers a transformative experience for youth ready to take their artistic practice to the next level. 

YA provides meaningful opportunities for students who face barriers to access, ensuring that talent and passion, not circumstance, define their path forward.  

Through studio practice, portfolio development, mentorship, critiques, exhibitions, and field trips, participants gain the skills, confidence, and direction needed to thrive in higher education and creative industries.
