    San Francisco Children's Art Center

    For more than two decades, the San Francisco Children's Art Center has nourished and inspired the creativity of Bay Area youth. Our mission is to empower children and foster their sense of self through exploration of the artistic process. In discovering this process, and the creative power within themselves, Children's Art Center students learn to view the world as a place filled with possibilities, one where they can shape and express their own vision.

    What makes the Children's Art Center distinctive is our focus on a process-oriented art experience. While providing instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, our teachers guide students through the process of creating, in an effort to elicit and support each child's individual style of visual expression. Rather than simply following directions to construct prescribed art "products," children in our classes learn to trust in their own creative impulses. Empowering students with the tools to take an idea from within themselves and give it form – this is the unique experience the Children's Art Center has to offer.
