Kala Art Institute provides a communal meeting place forartists from around the world who are offered the gift of time and space tofurther develop their unique visions in our West Berkeley studios. These talented artists form the creative corps of Kala’s Artists-In-Schools program,through which they share their expertise with K-12 students in Alameda County.

During the Doing & Viewing Art program, children visit a different museum gallery every week for ten weeks, and then participate in related studio art activities under the guidance of professional artists. The de Young also offers Saturday workshops for families in subjects such as paper art, drawing and painting.

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.
