Chris Babcock Art Prep: We teach artists how to cultivate curiosity and master imagination.
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 talented art students. We offer interested students the opportunity to build a portfolio that prepares them for admission to prestigious private high schools, the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts (SOTA), or top art departments in universities all over the world. CBAP is not just teaching technical and creative improvement, we are building resilience, fostering self-expression, and providing a sense of belonging to our artistic community.
Vision: To be a leading nonprofit art organization recognized for nurturing exceptional artistic talent in youth.
