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. Teen Night Out is an event for high-school-aged youth between 14-19 years old.

This year’s theme—Sunken Soirée—invites you into a world of jazz, candlelight, and underwater glamour. With a photo booth, shell-inspired art-making, glowing lantern creations, hands-on activities, and a ballroom-at-the-bottom-of-the-ocean atmosphere, expect submerged luxury and surprises throughout the evening. Come dressed for the depths.

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.
