Youth at City Hall



The under-18 set were all over City Hall on Thursday, on the Van Ness front stairs...



...and on the rotunda stairway inside.



Also setting up shop in the South Light Court late Thursday afternoon was a group called the "Arts Providers Alliance of San Francisco" (click here for their website)...



...which has something to do with San Francisco's Art Commission...



...which administers something called the "Arts Education Funders Collaborative" (click here for the site).



As one arts group vendor explained to me, as she was setting up her table to introduce her group to various educators, "there's a lot of new money out of Sacramento for arts programs in the schools, so we're here to take advantage of that."



Though the entire affair seemed to consist predominantly of women, there were a few token male representatives, such as the young man fronting for "Shakespeare Camp" above.



Across City Hall in the North Light Court, another education-related group was setting up for an awards ceremony for "business partners" who had helped with "Summer Academies"...



...that are set up annually for paying summer jobs in various industries for students between their junior and senior years.



The young ladies above seemed to be the "Hospitality and Tourism Industry" stars. Good luck, everyone.
