About Young Artists Studio Program (YASP)

In-depth 2012 program information and pricing will be posted at the end of February. The dates for 2012 will be as follows:

• June 18–22: One-week, all-day program (Oakland campus)
• July 30–August 10: Two-week, all-day program (San Francisco and Oakland campus)

CCA's Young Artist Studio Program (YASP) is an exciting, intensive studio experience for students who want to explore the visual arts in a professional art-school setting. Eligible students have just completed the sixth, seventh, or eighth grade.

To accommodate schools ending their spring terms later in June, we have created four condensed one-week programs, June 18–22, on our Oakland campus. Two-week programs are still offered, July 30-August 10, at each CCA campus (Oakland and San Francisco).

Enrollment is limited to 16 students per class section.
