SFCAC is offering impromptu art camps in the event of an SFUSD teacher strike and possible school closures.

Camps will be structured as 2-day workshops for students in grades 1-5 from 10 am to 4pm each day, with Mondays & Tuesdays and Thursdays & Fridays. (Unfortunately, we have other classes in our studio on Wednesdays, so we are unable to offer programming on that day).

We’ll offer a variety of artmaking activities, including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and more! Each 2-day session will include different activities for those who wish to sign up for multiple sessions.

If the strike lingers on, additional 2-day workshops will be added to the schedule. If the strike is resolved and schools re-open, workshops will be canceled and pro-rated refunds will be issued.

Join us for creative fun in our art studio with weeklong art camps during spring break and summer. Enrollment is now open – sign up to secure your spot today.

It’s not too late to sign up for winter session classes in our Fort Mason art studio! Join us for some creative discoveries starting this week!
