Now in its 52nd season, the San Francisco Arts Education Project thrives in that extraordinary zone between children and their creative potential. Working with professional artists in the performing and visual arts, more than 300,000 children have participated directly in the arts through SFArtsED – more than 7,000 kids last year alone. Nothing thrills us more than seeing a child participate in the arts, thriving, building self-confidence, honing communication skills and becoming the kind of broad-minded, open-hearted adults who will brighten our planet.
