San Francisco Art Institute

San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI), founded in 1871, is one of the country's oldest and most prestigious institutions in the practice and study of contemporary art. We are seeking talented professionals to join our team and advance our mission.

SFAI is dedicated to the intrinsic value of art and its vital role in shaping and enriching society and the individual. As a diverse community of working artists and scholars, SFAI provides students with a rigorous education in the arts and preparation for a life in the arts through an immersive studio environment, an integrated liberal arts and art history curriculum, and critical engagement with the world. Committed to educating artists who will shape the future of art, culture, and society, SFAI fosters creativity and original thinking in an open, experimental, and interdisciplinary context. SFAI is a challenging artistic and intellectual community that frequently proves transformative for its students.

SFAI employees (many of whom are artists themselves) contribute greatly to this dynamic environment, with each person playing a meaningful role in the success of the organization. Please see below for a list of current openings throughout the Institution.
