Young at Art – this is a fab not to be missed series of events!
Mark your calendars for the Friday night SFUSD Community Celebration at the de Young Museum May 14th 5pm to 8pm. The entire School District community, staff, parents, students and community members are invited to join us that evening in celebrating the creative and artistic accomplishments of San Francisco students.

This year the week long Young at Art festival May 8-16, 2010 at the de Young Museum and Golden Gate Park will feature 57 performances by dance groups, choral ensembles, jazz and concert bands, orchestras and theater classes. All performances are by students for students, with adults facilitating the process.

Over 9,500 students attended the nine day 2009 festival at the de Young Museum to perform, see their artwork, to listen to their peers read their literary works as authors and to view films made by youth. The performances are held in the band shell (the Spreckles Temple of Music) in the Golden Gate Park music concourse and in the de Young Museum’s Koret Theater.

Classes are invited to come on field trips during the school day May 11, 12, 13, and 14. Students will participate in art activities, visit the exhibitions and attend performances. Field trips may be booked in advance or classes are welcome to come anytime during the festival on a drop in basis including a museum visit.
