Celebrating creative exploration since 1978
The San Francisco Children’s Art Center is a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower children and foster their sense of self through artistic expression.

Big Kid Topic Classes
Created especially for children in grades K-5, Big Kid Topic Classes include Architectural Sculpture, Book Arts, Clay Time, Miniatures, Outdoor Adventures, Painting and Drawing, Photography Mixed Media, or Printmaking. In addition to promoting artistic skills, Big Kid Topic Classes help children develop perceptual, creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and emphasize the personal discovery and self confidence that grow out of the creative process. Full or partial sessions available, and drop-ins are welcome (please reserve your space in advance).
Tots, Twos, and Pre-K
Art Studio, Just for Twos, and Side by Side are offered in the mornings and early afternoons for children ages 22 months to 5 years old. We'll explore a wide range of materials, from playdough to printmaking, and end each class with a snack and story.
