We chose the venue because we wanted a modern romantic wedding with a bit of an industrial vibe. The gallery was beyond perfect and everything we wanted. Thank you so much Stephanie and Terra team! We rented out both the Terra (upstairs) and Mer (downstairs) Floors. Both floors had a bar. The Mer floor also came with the outdoor patio area. Both floors also had entrances/exits and restrooms. We had our ceremony upstairs. The wedding party's private room was equipped with seating and complementary champagne and beer. We so appreciate it Stephanie! Our wedding party was able to use the piano Terra provided to lead the worship song. The security officers were both kind and extremely organized. During cocktail hour, the party was moved to the Mer floor. The gallery provided bar stools and tables for our guests! So sweet! Wine was served and an open bar downstairs to go with the hors d'oeuvres! The bartenders were all so kind and sweet to our guests. They even provided me hand sanitizer. The lighting was perfect and our photographer was able to get so many amazing photos. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how they've never been to such a stunning wedding. While our guests enjoyed cocktail hour and mingling, upstairs was flipped to accommodate our reception. Terra provided all the round tables for us. I had my other vendors provide the long tables. Altogether there were 150 guests and 18 tables! Our family and friends had the most amazing time throughout the wedding day. Tips: - Highly highly recommend renting a parking garage for your guests - Rent the meters in front and around the venue for your vendors - Keep the artwork up because it adds so much elegance to your wedding! - Use white light indoors Stephanie made our wedding planning process so easy. She recommended vendors to us and she was a gem throughout the process. Although I didn't get to meet her personally my husband and wedding planner had so many good things to say. We will forever be grateful for Stephanie and the Terra team!

A group of us signed up for the Macallan tasting here on Saturday, September 16th at 6:30pm…read more I've been to a couple of tastings all over SF. This venue felt a little smaller, but they made good use of the space. The front area was used for the beginning, where you just mingle. They set up displays with bottles I could only dream of having, plus a photo area, informational sections, etc. Once the tasting started, we were brought into another room with a small stage and a bunch of tables. We sat stage left in the back, so the view wasn't great. I felt it made the room feel a lot smaller than it actually is. I use to go to tastings at Fort Mason all the time, so I can't help but compare this venue to that one. Overall, it had a nice dark, kind of intimate feel. And who doesn't love free liquor!

The art here is not a fast food burger for the brain but more of well aged beef well prepared at a Michelin star restaurant for the mind. The one who made the fast food burger isn't as skilled in the culinarily arts as a Michelin star chef. One is slop the other is fine dining. Same with art experience in person. There is a place which is the intersection of art and technology and the gallery opened in late Autumn in 2025 and it's called Tiat Place. On the last Summer in San Francisco Autumn weekend stroll on Powell street in the heart of downtown San Francisco I landed at Tiat Place. It's good to see when art and technology are integrated especially in the creation of art. There are Creative Technologist making digital art at the Tiat Place Art gallery . It's an intersection of visual modern art and future art. This place has some interesting electric art on display. Come visit Tiat Place on Powell street and you will see all types of fun art and it's electric inside. With technology we don't need to "comply" especially in the age of "AI "because human artistry will never "die" because it's about imagination and reality in the "minds eye" They say art is about "perspective" and it's "subjective" when it comes to copying and stealing art by humans or digitally with AI the IP( Intellectual Property) should be legally "protected "Tiat Place is the spot where there is a art "collective "

From the outside it looked like a normal building on Montgomery with restaurants and offices mixed in. I have never been here before and didn't know what to expect. Inside are like rooms with art and live artist ms scattered around doing demonstrations. There is the main room with the bar. In the bigger room with the bar it was hard to walk and maneuver around as it got crowded and it's mostly standing room. But lovely art on the skateboards which I was surprised. I guess art can be on any medium. If I come across another art event, I wouldn't mind coming back. It was an easy mini underground train ride to Montgomery station and just walk down few blocks. This place is quiet after hours.

Last night I attended "Various", the Push Studio opening reception, at the invitation of an old…read morefriend. It was a pretty cool event, with works by six different local artists, including my new friend Erik Otto and the SF fixture Ursula Xante Young. More on that in just a moment. The gallery itself is on an unassuming block of Folsom. You enter through a long hardwood-floored hallway into the main gallery space, which is essentially one large room, though I think it's set up to be divided in half into two rooms if necessary. The ceiling is super tall which gives the place an airy ambiance; it probably feels larger than it actually is, a feeling enhanced by the whitewashed walls and light hardwood floors. This particular show featured a lot of different styles - there were paintings and prints both very large and very small, as well as some mixed media, and I thought they all presented well in the space. Erik had even done some painting on the wall around his pieces, which is a level of involvement (on the part of the space) that I always appreciate in these sorts of things - which is to say that this gallery struck me as being very friendly towards its art. As for the particular artists, I actually really liked everyone that was showing. Erik's work was some of the more abstract but his mixed media stuff really anchored it well, both philosophically and physically, in the space. Tommy Noshitsky's photographic prints were fucking awesome and I would love to own a few; they embody a certain California/San Francisco aesthetic that I recognize all the more, not being a native son. Ursula Xante Young's paintings are well known for a reason and were a welcome addition. Krescent Carasso's massive paintings are executed with a level of technical skill I found absolutely engrossing. Downtimer's stuff is all done in a certain street art aesthetic and I have a sneaking suspicion he and I have similarly wired brains, since the patterns he produces in his work exhibit a striking similarity to my high school notebook doodles. And as it turns out, Derrick Boyd made probably my favorite piece at the show, a massive, beautiful painting of a peacock that I desperately want to own. That's worth going to see on its own. In all, I really enjoyed the space and the show, I liked getting to meet several of the artists and the woman running the gallery, and I would happily return to see future installations. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to work so some day I can have enough money to buy art with.
