The Family Art Program
(Arte entre familia)
The Family Art program or Arte entre Familia has been bringing free quality art programming to families in the Mission district for over 10 years. The program engages the Red Poppy Art House’s surrounding neighborhood, contributing to its vibrancy by offering free programming to the public one Saturday of the month from 12:00-1:30 p.m. at 2698 Folsom.
An outdoor open forum, Family Art uses the exterior south wall of the Poppy and its wide adjacent sidewalk, where volunteers bring out an array of art supplies and organize a different activity for participants each week.
The art and community facilitator creates a safe and creative space for families of all backgrounds to participate in open-ended art projects. Art projects happen either indoors or outside on the sidewalk as a way to engage with neighborhood families. Family Art invites all families with children 0-5, youth, and adults to participate in community art exploration.
