Gage Academy of Art

In 1991, the school began operating year-round in Seattle under the name the Academy of Realist Art, offering a variety of classes and workshops for artists of all levels of ability.

This addition paved the way for year-round programs for children and teens offered presently both on-site and in the Seattle community Over the next decade, Gage grew rapidly.

This enabled the school to offer a broader range of educational and community events, specifically those tailored to serving emerging artists in the Seattle area.

In November 2023, Gage announced that it would move from its existing Capitol Hill campus to re:Invent, an office building in the Amazon headquarters complex in Denny Triangle.

Past artists have included Anna McKee, Amy Johnson, Gala Bent, Chauney Peck, Paul Kuniholm, Whiting Tennis, Michael Lane, Lisa Buchanan, Tip Toland, Jeremy Mangan and Timothy Cross.
