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 that can make the difference between hope and hopelessness.

Vision: To be a leading nonprofit art organization, recognized for nurturing exceptional artistic talent in youth. CBAP specializes in guiding young artists through the artistic process of learning many new drawing, painting, sculpting techniques. For middle schoolers, we offer our Fast Tract Program which focuses on portfolio development to show at private high school interviews, and the 3 drawing assignments required to audition to be accepted at the coveted Ruth Asawa School of the Arts High School, particularly for those demonstrating significant commitment and growth potential.
