About Me


WWAAAAZZZAAAAAPPP????

Young Artists at Work is a paid, multidisciplinary arts, activism, and job training after-school program for San Francisco public high school teens. Students develop artistic skills in bi-weekly workshops led by professional artists that culminate in a public presentation of their work. Currently we offer visual art, literary/performance art, and film/video. All classes are held at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; Mon-Fri, 4-6pm. Students put their art and activist skills into action during the summer through an internship at a variety of arts organization and gain hands-on experience in arts leadership!
