Mission

Our mission is to foster this community and spark a shared creative practice between faculty artists and students, furthering youth as leaders, thinkers, and artists at the intersection of youth development, arts education, and social justice. Our vision is that every public high school student in San Francisco has a voice and agency in our city. We believe being exposed to the arts at a pivotal age and developing a strong connection to the arts through learning, creating, and making give youth tools to express themselves, exchange with others, and shape the world around them. We want spaces buzzing with the creative energy of professional artists and youth working together to make art, hang out, and build community – which we believe will make our city more connected, resilient, and reflective of all those woven in its fabric. Simply said, art changes lives.
