Inspiring the next generation

The Urban Forest Project includes an exciting mentoring component organized by AIGA San Francisco. Twenty-one teams of designers and high school students created banner artwork for public display alongside the professional and college student artwork.

Designers and creative professionals from diverse studios such as Autodesk, Google, Vehicle and Dubberly were paired with high school students from the following San Francisco youth programs: BAVC, SF Cameraworks: First Exposures, San Francisco Youth Commission, Southern Exposure and Young Artists at Work/Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

Adobe Youth Voices is the education sponsor for the mentoring program.
