HistoryFounded in 1968 by renowned artist Ruth Asawa, the San Francisco Arts Education Project provides hands-on arts experiences for children in public schools guided by professional artists. Ruth Asawa's inventive idea is as relevant now as it was more than four decades ago. The original three-part mission? - Teach students new skills -- from cognitive development to physical dexterity -- as original performance and visual artwork is created. - Infuse public education with arts experiences through participatory learning. - Make, at every economic level, the arts accessible to school age San Francisco kids.SpecialtiesFounded in 1968 by Ruth Asawa, SFArtsED provides hands-on arts education in San Francisco public schools taught by professional artsits.
