This review is for the Drink and Draw event only. I was very excited to try this experience and from the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be fun. The front desk person was super nice and welcoming. The music, the light, the ambiance in general was so relaxing. You get art supplies and different sitting options (sofa chair, stool, or an artist bench). The stage was nicely decorated; plants, head bust, drapes, fairy lights above made it look just perfect. The invitation said that the Gage monitor will "offer up some drawing tips throughout the session" but we didn't get any tips. However, I still enjoyed my experience. Love the location too.

I was very interested in going to a school where I could focus mainly on graphic design, but I decided to back out. Before I could get any information from an advisor I had to pay nearly $200 for my application. Once I did that, i found oit the my VA and Financial aid benefits wouldnt cover the full cost of my education. I would've needed to take out loans every semester/quarter. No thank you!

My pre-teen daughter attended a week-long summer camp at Gage and enjoyed it. The camp mostly involved art (collages with modpodge, book cover designs, cardboard creations, other art with pen and paint toward the creation of a zine, etc.). She also did some creative movement, which she found interesting. Overall, she enjoyed the camp. The location is easy to get to and there are places to park as you do dropoffs and pickups. I wish they did more writing with the book projects, though. It was heavy on the art and not much on the story or writing. I also thought more directed instruction with techniques could have made it better, but I think providing a space for the kids to create on their own, following their own inner artist, so to speak, was worthwhile. The room didn't have AC, but kids didn't seem to mind much. The room was oozing with a sense of art and project-making/building.

Atelier style + level of classical art instruction - I love this place. It's old school, no more like olde school. I'm thankful we have access to high quality classical art instruction in Seattle. Most of the classes are instructed by phenomenal professional artists. Agree with other reviews, if you're serious about building fundamental skills in classic mediums this is an amazing place.
