HISTORY The San Francisco Art Association (SFAA) was founded in 1871 and it opened the San Francisco School Of Design (later the California School of Design) in 1874. It was directed by landscape painter Virgil Macey Williams . In 1893 SFAA and CSD moved to the former mansion of Mark Hopkins and was renamed the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. The fire following the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake destroyed both the mansion and the school. A year later, the school was rebuilt on the site of the old mansion and renamed the San Francisco Institute of Art. In 1916, the school was renamed the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA). The CSFA moved to its current location at 800 Chestnut Street. In 1961 the school was finally renamed to its modern name, the San Francisco Art Institue. In 1969, a new addition to the building by Paffard Keatinge Clay added 22,500 sq. feet of studio space, a large theater/lecture hall, outdoor amphitheater, galleries, and cafe. Music In 1966, the SFAI organized an exhibition of rock and roll posters. In 1978, SFAI was one of the centers of the Punk Rock music scene. NOTABLE FACULTY
