Chris Babcock Art Prep: Nurturing Tomorrow's Artists for over 25 Years

Mission: Chris Babcock Art Prep is an art studio in San Francisco where talented artists, ages 8 to 18 pursue improving their technical and creative skills, while making friends with other exceptionally talented art students.  Every child CBAP empowers with new artistic skills, every spark of creativity CBAP ignites is a potential life saved. CBAP is not just teaching technical and creative improvement, we are building resilience, fostering self-expression, and providing a sense of belonging to a gentle and kind artistic community.
