Teen artists, get noticed! Learn how to build an online portfolio and tell the story behind your art, whether you make paintings, poems, or something completely different.

What is YouthCAN?

YouthCAN is the Wing Luke Museum's award-winning arts and leadership program for youth ages 15-19. YouthCAN provides space for creative expression, civic engagement, and professional development in the arts. The program is always FREE.

- Creative Expression

Through YouthCAN, students work with mentor artists to learn a wide range of art forms. YouthCAN helps youth explore their identities as informed by social justice issues, and involves them in their community through hands-on art projects.

- Civic Engagement

Social and political issues are a large part of YouthCAN's programming. Our past exhibits have used art as a way to talk about exploitation of workers, poverty, and institutional racism.

- Professional Development

YouthCAN students gain curatorial experience by developing and installing their own exhibitions in the Frank Fuji Gallery at the Wing Luke Museum. Youth artwork has also appeared in the Wing’s storefront window, Chinatown-ID's Canton Alley, the City of Seattle’s Ethnic Heritage Gallery, and other community venues.
