About Us

The Sharon Art Studio is San Francisco’s largest public art center. Located in Golden Gate Park, our programs are jointly operated by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department (SFRPD) and the Friends of Sharon Art Studio (FOSAS). We offer arts education for people of all ages in ceramics, leaded and fused glass, jewelry/metal arts, drawing, painting, and mixed media. The studio is an incubator of new skills and relationships. A membership is a commitment to a community of artists.



Friends of Sharon Art Studio (FOSAS) is a non-profit partner devoted to sustaining and enhancing the Sharon Art Studio’s programs. FOSAS believes that art education is an essential component of a healthy community. Our vision is an
affordable, high-quality, and non competitive learning
environment where everyone finds creative fulfillment through visual arts and crafts.
