The genesis of the art school began in Tanforan, a racetrack just outside of San Francisco, where over 8000 people of Japanese descent were confined until Topaz was built. Many of the internees were living in horse stalls, turned into makeshift barracks with just a hurried whitewash on the walls and linoleum over the manure-covered floors.
