Love to draw? Better get to Gage Academy of Art’s Drawing Jam today. This annual event features art activities for the whole family, with figure, portrait and gesture models, food, and more. It’s just $12 for adults (includes supplies!) and kids ages 15 and younger are FREE.

 

What if the gift you bought could benefit not only the recipient but someone elsewhere in the world, too? That’s the idea behind today’s Giving Marketplace at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Visitors Center near Seattle Center. They’ll have exhibits, activities, and plenty of opportunities to shop for gifts that help support causes like clean water, health and education.
