STAR actively supports those Shipyard artists who introduce students from Bayview Hunters Point and beyond to the fun and creativeness of art. Some teach art in public schools. Schools who would like to have artists come to their schools, please email us.
This program is made possible with support of the California Arts Council and other generous donors.
Intergenerational Art Program
In partnership with Bayview Senior Services, STAR provides Shipyard artists and art supplies for weekly art classes that bring together Bayview seniors and students. Email info@shipyardtrust.org if you are interested in participating as a senior or a school that would like the students to engage.
This program is made possible with support of the California Arts Council and other generous donors.
Exposure Art Program
In an effort to achieve more and awareness of the opportunities the Hunters Point Shipyard Artists bring to the community and local community participation in our Open Studios events, we offer an Exposure program that lets students in local school view artist studios and interact with professional artists outside of the Open Studios events. Email us if you are interested in participating with your group.
Adult Education
STAR matches skilled teaching artists at the Hunters Point Shipyard with Bayview Hunters Point organizations that want to offer art classes to their members or the public. In 2017, for example, the George Davis Senior Center hosted a watercolor class taught by Tesia Blackburn.
STAR Annual Auction
Every year during Fall Open Studios, STAR holds its annual auction and fundraiser. Shipyard artists generously donate artwork for the silent auction. This supports our programs and administrative costs, brings artists to the attention of Open Studios attendees, and gives attendees the chance of acquiring high-quality art at a bargain price. Preview selected artworks in the 2018 auction. (Link opens in a new window.)
Artist Salons
STAR organizes small, informal evenings with artists in their studios where art lovers - and other Hunters Point Shipyard artists - can get acquainted and learn about new work in progress.
