Since 1968, the San Francisco Arts Education Project has created hands-on creative experiences for children in San Francisco public schools alongside some of the Bay Area’s finest practicing artists. Through in-school artist residencies, after-school and weekend programs and a six-week arts summer camp, SFArtsED has earned the reputation as San Francisco’s finest arts education program.

This year, SFArtsED takes the next big step opening an art studio classroom and office space at Minnesota Street Project in Dogpatch. This former industrial warehouse is now at the center of San Francisco’s newest arts district, housing 11 contemporary art galleries and one nonprofit: SFArtsED.

To celebrate the opening of SFArtsED’s new art studio classroom in Minnesota Street Project, we honor exhibitions from our past – the student artists, the teaching artists and the extraordinary work they created together. The show is Re/View: An SFArtsED Visual Arts Retrospective.

Since 1995, when SFArtsED began creating art exhibitions for student work, there have been more than a dozen shows in galleries, storefronts, building lobbies, schools and other creative spaces usually reserved for working artists. Now that SFArtsED has, for the first time, a space to call its own, it seemed fitting to share some of the great work of the past created with veteran artist teachers including Richard Olsen, Agelio Batle and Tiersa Nureyev among many others.
