With support from the California Arts Council, the San Francisco Arts Education Project (SFArtsED) will collaborate with Gordon J. Lau Elementary School to produce a robust series of multi-week in-school residencies with an exceptional roster of teaching artists for grades K-5. Residencies will include Chorus (grades K-5), Dance and Visual Arts/Mixed Media (grade K), Visual Arts (grade 2), Visual Arts/Mixed Media (grade 3), Dance (grade 1), Hip-Hop (grades 4-5) and Theater (grades 4-5).
SFArtsED’s programs and services are designed to focus on community and neighborhood partnerships; creating spaces for young artists of color; place-based arts education; supporting emergent community-centered inquiry; and restorative practices. SFArtsED is recognized for our in-school AIR programs spanning the spectrums of performing and visual arts. In addition to in-school residencies, out-of-school programs thrive year-round including SFArtsED Summer (an annual 6-week arts camp); SFArtsED Players, a musical theater pre-professional repertory ensemble; Big Blue After School program in Glen Park; and Artists in Residence @ MSP with projects curated and presented in our 1800 square foot multidisciplinary gallery and arts education resource lab within the Minnesota Street Project campus.
