Young Artist Studio Program (YASP) will be offered again in 2023.
Thanks for your interest in YASP! Aside from our CCA Pre-College program, we are not able to offer our other high school and middle school summer youth programs in June, July, or August 2022 due to campus unification and construction projects. This is an historic moment for the college, and you may learn more about our focus on the future in San Francisco via CCA’s campus expansion news.
We look forward to producing new youth programming opportunities year round, and will again offer our signature Atelier and Young Artist Studio Programs in summer 2023. Sign up below and you’ll be among the first to know our plans for 2023!
Please complete this form to be added to our notification list. We will update our web pages and notify everyone as soon as we have details on our program plans. Please direct any questions to Youth Programs@cca.edu and see below for an idea of what the program may entail.
