ABOUT THE PROGRAM Join San Francisco Art Institute’s immersive three-week summer Young Artist Program (YAP) and connect with your creative community of peers who forge new ways of looking at and living in the world. YAP is the perfect place to express yourself while diving deep into technique and concept development, medium exploration, and experimentation. Led by dedicated artists and teachers, courses take place during morning (9:30am–12:30pm) and afternoon (1:30–4:30pm) sessions on SFAI’s historic and bustling campus in the heart of San Francisco. Look out at Alcatraz and the Bay while enjoying lunch in the SFAI Café; take in the Diego Rivera mural during a painting lesson about public art and scale; see a constantly rotating display of inspiring student artwork on your break; spend time in the Anne Bremer Memorial library, which houses over 20,000 art books, magazines, and videos; or participate in a YAP lunchtime social event.
