Organized by teens, for teens, Teen Night Out is an annual after-hours celebration featuring one-of-a-kind programming by Seattle's most talented teens.

This year's theme—Childhood Whimsy—invites you to embrace our inner-child, tapping into memories that inspire your joy and creativity! With nostalgic art-making activities, a fashion show hosted by Aleksa Manila, a live DJ, in-gallery BINGO, parachute time, and so much more, we'll celebrate the magic of childhood.

Teen Night Out is an event for high-school-aged youth between 13-19 years old. Space and seating will be available for chaperones accompanying youth.

By attending Teen Night Out, the teen of every parent or legal guardian grants SAM permission to photograph, record, or otherwise capture the teen’s image, appearance, and likeness during the event, and to use the same for non-commercial SAM-related purposes.
