Teen Programs at SAM

SAM’s teen programs—Teen Workshops, ARTattack: Teen Night Out and TAG (Teen Advisory Group)—are FREE programs that provide creative activities for high school students outside the regular school day.

These programs offer teens opportunities to express their ideas in discussions, participate in tours and hands-on workshops, and gain important communication and critical thinking skills. Joining the programs is a great way for teens to work with contemporary artists, make their own art and meet other teens.

ARTattack: Teen Night Out

This FREE showstopping night comes equipped with DJs, teen art tours and drop-in art activities led by Seattle’s hottest contemporary artists. The galleries are yours too! Teens pay no admission to see works in the SAM's permanent collection and special exhibition galleries. If you want to plan ARTattack, think about joining TAG, the Teen Advisory Group at SAM. ARTattack is for teens and by teens.

TAG (Teen Advisory Group)

TAG is for area high school students who want to make SAM fun and engaging for teens.

We are Leaders. Highly Opinionated. Creative. Visionary. Loud. Committed. Fun-Loving. Exciting. Thoughtful.

We plan ART ATTACK: Teen Night Out, from selecting performers and art activities and leading special tours to organizing film screenings and gallery talks.

We create audio projects, videos, posters, zines, stickers, buttons and teen-only events with artists, filmmakers, designers, sculptors, painters, writers, dancers, poets, musicians, DJs and more.

We receive community-service learning credit and creative life experience.
