Background
The San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) is a private fine arts college which dates back to 1874 when the San Francisco Art
Association, an organization founded in 1871 to promote and exhibit local artists, first began offering art classes to the
public. The school was known as the California School of Design from 1874 through 1916, and the California School of Fine
Arts from 1916 through 1961, when it became the San Francisco Art Institute.
