A public benefit 501(c)3 organization located in downtown San Jose, SJMA serves 225,000 people a year. 55,000 are children, nearly 40,000 of whom participate in our locally applauded Studio Arts Education programs. As the largest provider of visual arts education to regional public schools, SJMA pays special heed to the needs of students in schools receiving federal Title I funding (indicating that at least 50% of the students' families already receive funding in the form of Aid for Families with Dependent Children [AFDC] and are considered "at risk" of dropping/failing out of school).
