DrawBridge presents, in partnership with BXP, A curated space that supports DrawBridge Youth Art, wrapped in a huge hug by a circle of established and community Bay Area artists.
After nearly 40 years of stewarding the creative expression of the Bay Area's children and communities, DrawBridge Arts — in partnership with BXP — presents The Art of San Francisco: a dynamic activation, exhibition, and immersive experience at 2 Embarcadero Center.
About
The Art of San Francisco brings that community together under one roof. Every artist exhibited here has signed on to support our mission, their work displayed alongside the artwork of the very children they champion — established artists and young creators, side by side.
We are so happy to have you here - our place for civic gathering, community activation, and imagining the future of the Bay Area’s creativity together. Every visit, every artwork collected, every conversation that happens here supports our programs in the field, so we can serve Bay Area children’s creativity and expression

Testimonials
From a
DrawBridge Facilitator
We had a new 7-year-old girl who was first to arrive. She looked terrified. I guessed that her discomfort came from being in a new and temporary living situation. Throughout most of the art group her eyes were red with tears. Despite this, she bravely verbalized what art materials she would like to use, settled in and began working quietly alongside the other children. By the end she was looking in the mirror at herself wearing her new hat she made, beaming with happiness.

Drawbridge was a physically safe place where we could just be kids and make a mess…my mind was at peace. During times of stress or frustration, I continue to turn towards art as an outlet. That safe space continues to be a part of me today.

As much as this DrawBridge art group allowed for fun and creative exploration, it also allowed hope; the space to feel, just to be heard and seen.
