About TAG

In TAG you will:

- SHARE your passion for art with others by leading tours and connecting with the community through social media.
- PLAN Teen Night Out and other special events like screenings and gallery talks.
- CREATE your own art in new and familiar mediums; this is the space to try something daring!
TAG meets every Thursday from 5:00-7:00 pm. This year's cohort will meet from early October 2024 through May 2025. TAG participants elect to receive either community-service learning credit or monetary compensation commensurate with Washington State's annual minimum wage.

SAM is dedicated to engaging with historically under-represented groups in the museum field as we strive to be inclusive and equitable. Research shows that individuals who identify as women or as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are less likely to apply for roles they do not feel 100% qualified to fill. We encourage you to apply if you believe yourself to be a good fit for the TAG program and SAM's mission to connect art to life.
Please contact us at teenprograms@seattleartmuseum.org should you have any questions or require any accommodations in completing this form.

SAM está comprometido a involucrar grupos históricamente subrepresentados en el campo de los museos mientras nos esforzamos por ser inclusivos y equitativos. Investigaciones muestran que las personas que se identifican como mujeres o como personas negras, indígenas, o de color (BIPOC) son menos propensas a solicitar puestos para los que no se sienten 100% calificadas. Te invitamos a presentar tu solicitud si crees que eres una buena opción para el programa TAG y si crees en la misión del SAM de conectar el arte con la vida.
