Young Artist Studio Program

About YASP

CCA's Young Artist Studio Program (YASP) is an exciting, two-week, 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.

Since several schools have terms that end later this year, we have created a condensed one-week program, June 21–25, on our Oakland campus. Priority for this program will be given to students attending these schools.

YASP programs are offered at each CCA campus (Oakland and San Francisco). Enrollment is limited to 16 students per class section.
