In a partnership with the CCSF Office of Continuing Education at Fort Mason Center for the Arts and Culture, Embark Arts will offer a two-week intensive course taught by current and recently graduated students from graduate programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. The program will provide students ages 12 to 16 with a safe and dynamic environment to create art in, encouraging experimentation and play. The classes will include a range of distinct materials and conceptual focuses developed by the artists, derived from their creative practices, and inspired by themes and conversations relevant to students at the middle and high school level. Classes will be held in the CCSF classrooms and will culminate in a pop-up show held at Embark Gallery -- providing the students with professional development in the best practices for curation, installation, and exhibitions to give a complete picture of the working artist experience. Embark Arts aims to foster a conducive environment for creativity, critical thinking, and inquiry. These classes will provide students with a unique experience of working with an emerging Bay Area artist, as well as address concerns of the city and community, historical or contemporary art, and a variety of concepts and materials.
For students ages 12 to 16. Scholarships available for students in need of financial aid. This aid is available regardless of artistic discipline and will fund one summer class per student. For information on how to apply, email [email protected].
