Faculty

Faculty at the San Francisco Studio School is comprised of instructors who teach at the school on a regular basis and Visiting Faculty who hold critiques, talks or presentations with the students. Each area of the school's curriculum is carefully supported by group and individual interchanges through formal and informal critiques and discussions. An underlying tenet of the school's curriculum is that meaningful encounters with artists, curators and others active in the contemporary art world provide insight and contribute to the discourse surrounding the student's work. As such, most Visiting Faculty sessions are restricted to students and invited guests only. Other selected events are open to the public.
