Teacher Directory

Teacher Information

This list of San Francisco Open Studios artists is compiled as a public service by ArtSpan to facilitate educators and community groups in locating artists who are available to teach on a drop-in or ongoing basis.

Please note that screenings, such as fingerprint and tuberculosis testing (as required in California Schools), are the responsibility of the organization that wishes to work with the artist, not ArtSpan. Payment, insurance, contracts and legal arrangements must be made directly with the artist, not through ArtSpan, and ArtSpan accepts no responsibility for these arrangements.
