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 exploration. Our focus is on a process-oriented art experience. While providing instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, our teachers guide students through the creative process in an effort to support each child's individual style of expression. We offer a full range of classes in our Fort Mason studio, for children ages 22 months to 12 years of age, as well as Family Workshops and Birthday Parties on Sundays. Big Kid Weekly Workshops during the summer allow kids to explore more complex topics and materials. Visit www.childrensartcenter.org for more information.
