With support from the CAC, SFArtsED will launch its 22nd annual 6-week summer arts camp June 5 through July 21, 2018 for nearly 500 children ages 9-14 with an anticipated 50% enrollment from low-to-middle-income families. Funds will support salaries for professional teaching artists/mentors as well as subsidize partial to full tuition (based on merit and need) for up to 50 children. SFArtsED Summer sessions and programs will be held at Miraloma and Rooftop Elementary Schools in San Francisco.
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.
