SF ART BOOK FAIR
Vanessa C.

I come here every year for the SF Art Book Fair. It's a wonderful event where artists from all over the world come together to share and support one another. There is so much activity and inspiration buzzing in the air. The event is typically 3 days at this venue. There are permanent exhibitions displayed year around. They've been a firm patron of the arts. It always a pleasure to come here, drink in the immense talent and leave feeling refreshed and motivated to create.

The Minnesota Street Project at 1275 Minnesota is one of those places in San Francisco that is a little bit away from where you might expect to see an art gallery (like downtown). The only reason I discovered it was because I was there for a musical event featuring a string quartet from the SF Opera that was being held in the atrium. Lots of spacious rooms to view contemporary art. Great lighting. Both natural and artificial. The project itself is made up of 15 independently owned galleries located at this location and at 1150 25th st. No admission is charged. Built into it is a very attractive restaurant that took a peek at that serves Indian food. Definitely worth a visit!

Exhibits at 1150 25th Street

So many different art galleries and exhibits to roam around freely and explore, most of them to be found at 1275 Minnesota Street (which has an attached bar/restaurant, Besharam), including hand saw art (Rico Solinas You Never Know), Manifest Differently film room, and Natalya Burd's electric wonderland showcasing trees and nature with a neon mirror effect. There were more exhibits to see at 1150 25th Street, including An Opera of Whispers, a unique representation of communication through objects. Rohini Devasher's One Hundred Thousand Suns was located in its own separate space (1201 Minnesota St.) with captivating fabric printed artworks hanging from the vaulted ceiling, and a dark film room with multiple screens playing and plenty of comfy seating for visitors (though the place was quite empty on a Saturday afternoon). This exhibition combines art and science to depict various dimensions of the sun. Best part of the Minnesota Street Project, no cost to visit and admire the amazing works of diverse and skilled artists.

The Dogpatch neighborhood has a lot of art museums/galleries, and Minnesota Street Project is our favorite. Inhabiting 3 warehouses, there are 15 galleries spread out on two floors around a central courtyard, and on one end is a wide wooden staircase the spans both floors and you can sit there and rest or people watch. Due to the number of galleries there, you can view a wide variety of art styles. There is also a restaurant, but it only serves dinner. Best thing about the museum is that the admission is always free, as the place was founded by entrepreneurs and collectors Deborah and Andy Rappaport, who believed that philanthropic support for the arts today requires an alternate model--one suited to the innovative nature of Silicon Valley and the region as a whole.

What a cool space for artists. This particular space was designed by Ramon Abad and it was interactive art. People can be creative here and make their own puppets. There are a ton of other galleries in this space.

This is hands-down my favorite recommended art gallery space in SF, recently Just moved here from NYC. Incredible galleries, community and programming with artist talks and performances on first Saturdays. There are cute restaurants in the Dogpatch area, as well, making MSP a perfect art-day destination! I highly recommend.

Man im really starting to like modern art

Really nice place! Very differe t modern art pieces but a really nice place to walk through

What a great space for art. Located on a pretty quite street with a Philz coffee across the street and a restaurant inside, the Minnesota Street Project holds several galleries. Two floors worth. Today we saw some pretty contemporary works. Not something for everyone, but it is a good spot to visit. We learned that they have a first Saturday night too. Street parking was plenty during the day. Although we took public transportation. From Bart, take the T and it gets you right there with just a tiny walk.

Came here first-time for CCA's thesis exhibit. -Ambiance: cozy, fun, good lighting, relaxing. Each show room is a bit different in size and layout, however I like best the ones with huge windows. Light comes in & it adds taste to the artworks. - Open space. High ceiling. Large Stair case is also made for rest. They can be used as benches. The structure of the gallery is very straightforward. Side by side rooms, left and right aisles, bridged by the common area and the stairway. - Surrounding neighborhood is a typical Potrero Hill/ Dogpatch scene. Philz coffee just a block away, plenty of parking. Quiet, chill, not a lot of traffic. Some furniture store and design studios. Walking distance to other galleries. - Overall a good experience.

Such a great concept! Lots of open galleries inside this building. Free street parking all around and a Philz Coffee right across the street. I came here with a couple of friends to see the "Kenny Scharf Presents 'The Cosmic Cavern'" art exhibit. It was an amazing experience and I was glad to take a part of Mickey's 90th anniversary. Once we were done with this gallery, we made our way to the others and were equally impressed. Would definitely recommend to other artsy folks in the area.

Da vinci

Though I am somewhat a follower of the SF art scene, I didn't know about this gallery space until yesterday. My friend texted me and reminded me that Da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" would be on display on Minnesota Street, so I felt like going. I got there around 3pm and waited maybe an hour to get in. I think it closed at 5pm and that was the last day of the showing. The piece will get shipped off to NY for an auction($100 million). The piece was at the Christie's space. There were some famous modern art pieces there too like De Kooning, Basquiat, Ruscha, Pollock, etc. There are many rooms in this one building I was in. I guess they are separate galleries. There was a lot to see and it was presented well. I saw the art dealer who is selling Dave Eggers artwork. I saw him at the Fort Mason art exhibition in May. It was so cool to see the rare Da Vinci at this building yesterday. In the summer, I saw the Mona Lisa and another piece Virgin of the Rocks in London. This is the year of Da Vinci for me.

Cool gallery:)

Are appointments really needed for most galleries?

Having been there twice, I can say that most galleries are open without appointments.

What is even better is seeing creators from around the world come to San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference. I attended the "To the Supercell Game Changers Women Driving The Industry Forward" event at Chandran Gallery around the Union Square area of San Francisco . It's good to see the diversity of people from different countries like Finland and Germany developing games for the masses and growing their brand. I also enjoyed the space which had delicious food like sushi and an open bar with wine , curated alcoholic drinks and music to enhance the experience . A good art gallery space to see art and to attend events. The event was multidimensional and influential. The good vibes inside are contagious and the gallery space is very spacious A space for artists to display art which is courageous and audacious

I thought this was a wonderful idea because you will have a limited number of people during your selected time. I lucked out and was the only person in my time slot, so I had the whole exhibit to myself. I was able to take all the pictures I wanted and spend time in this beautiful, immersive piece. I've been here once before coincidentally for the same artist without the reservation times and we definitely had to wait for other people to be done so we could take our pics. It's hard to tell when you're at an exhibit and want to take pictures with out strangers in them.

Everyone celebrates San Francisco differently. Seeing a celebration for the area code of the city…read moreof San Francisco has been always part of growing up especially during my High School years at Mission High school which happens to be tallest building in front of the Dolores Park. Yes having Dolores Park as your school yard and the place to spend your lunch period and some after school activities was happening all four seasons of the year not just on April 15 or 4/15 now also known as 415 day. The corporations and other entities start capitalizing on some underground fun. Now it's celebrated throughout San Francisco with people wearing items and gear which has something San Francisco on it. How I still celebrate it is going to a park in San Francisco with a favorite adult beverage currently it's a bottle of Pinot Noir for Don Juan Pinot Noir. Whether Dolores Park or Golden Park you can represent all four seasons in San Francisco by visiting that Park Life. On an April stroll in San Francisco finding where to park on Clement street can sometimes be a challenge in San Francisco. You can see people camping out for parking spots on Clement street ( like at Costco in SF). Park Life is a store on Clement street between 3rd and 4th Avenue which has items with themes of San Francisco. You will find art and stationaries. You will also see bags ,clothing, and hats with San Francisco on it that don't look like you picked it up at a souvenir shop at the Tourist trap in SF. You will also find some interesting books inside. There is a small art gallery in the back of the store . This is a good place to get a treat for yourself or grab a gift for others and have fun at a local San Francisco park . Whether it's Golden Gate Park, Duboce Park, McLaren Park, Mount Davison Park, Sue Bierman Park, Lafayette Park, Precita Park, Bernal Heights Park, Alamo Square Park, Washington Square Park, Dolores Park, Franklin Square Park, Presidio Tunnel Tops Park or Glen Park , etc. This place in San Francisco is all about that Park Life. Born and raised in San Francisco I am straight out the"golden gates "to me it's always San Francisco and I only call it the other term which is SF I am not the one who "participates "calling San Francisco different nicknames on social media or in person"debates" I just know San Francisco is the best city in the "United States" Go take a stroll to San Francisco by the Pacific Ocean and not the" Hormuz Strait" to the day I like to "celebrate" in San Francisco on April 15 also known as 415 but there is also another" date " I partake which is on June 28th also known as the other San Francisco area code the "628"
