Artists in Schools Program Kicks off new school year!

We are excited to kick off another year of visual arts residencies at several San Francisco preschools, schools and community programs. Read more about our Artists in Schools program.

These programs have been made possible in large part by a partnership with Performing Arts Workshop and funding from First Five San Francisco, as well as a Planning Grant from the California Arts Council.

If you are interested in setting up an art field trip, workshop, or residency at your child's preschool, school, or after school program, please contact the office at (415) 771-0292.

SFCAC is proud to be a member of the National Guild for Community Arts Education.
