The San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) encompasses one of the oldest and most prestigious colleges of art in the United States. Among its alumni and faculty are many of the country’s leading artists. The development of the individual artist is at the core of the San Francisco Art Institute’s philosophy. Whether students choose to study painting, drawing, filmmaking, video, performance, sculpture, photography, digital media, printmaking, or curatorial practice, their time here and the relationships they develop – with faculty and fellow students – shape who they are as an artist and as a person.
