What happens to an artwork after it’s finished? Museums collect paintings, sculptures, films—and more—but visitors only see a fraction of the objects a museum holds. Gain some behind-the-scenes insight at the Frye Art Museum by working with an exhibition designer to curate and design an exhibit from the museum’s collection. 

This youth workshop encourages students ages 10-16 to tackle social, environmental, and engineering challenges. With an extended emphasis on more conceptual issues and demanding design concepts, these workshops are perfect for older students. Hosted at Seattle-area architectural offices and community spaces, Seattle Architecture Foundation (SAF) staff and volunteer designers support participants as they plan, build, and present solutions to imaginative and thought-provoking design challenges.

The Seattle Architecture Foundation (SAF) connects people to the architecture, design, and history of Seattle.
