Arc Studios & Gallery

You to have see Rachel Sager’s work and say hi to Matt and drink Stud Stin.

Arc Studios is a hidden gem in the SOMA district of San Francisco.
Michael and his team do a phenomenal job of making full use of this cozy, intimate space. I’ve attended a few openings since the gallery opened and love the diverse mix of artists Arc Studios continues to attract. In May, I attended this exhibit:
and loved the humorous as well as dark offerings available online and in the studio.
I’m planning on attending Arc Studios next National Juried Exhibition of, «Masquerade», which opens end of October. I cannot wait to see what local and national artists bring to this lovely gallery!
If you’re searching for things to do while in San Francisco, make sure you take a moment to wander through SOMA and check out Arc Studios… definitely worth your while.

One cannot call these exhibitions eclectic. The curation is thoughtful and witty. The gallery is delightfully focused on intriguing exhibitions. Whereas some gallerists focus on solo exhibitions and and end-​of-​year group exhibition, Arc challenges art lovers to think.
After more than a decade working in the arts, I have no compunction in calling this gallery exceptional.

I attended Arc Studios & Gallery during Open Studios in SF. Great space on two levels. Great art vibe. The gallery offered multiple artists and photographers work. Some really lovely work, quite varied, was displayed. They had a great crowd on opening night. Several of the artists served refreshments. Food vendors set up in front which added a certain festivity to the evening.
Located in the SOMA district, street parking is a little difficult. This area is changing but still some colorful folks sleeping on the sidewalk after dark. Well worth a visit if you’re in the city or looking for wonderful local artists work. Call ahead for gallery business hours.

This is a great place to visit. Arc Studios and Gallery, has a coffee and cookie shops. Gallery space to rent to show wonderful works of art. The building has studio spaces that are rented. The building is made up of several artists in mix media. Easy location to find in the South of Market of San Francisco. The day I visited with one of the managers Mr. Yochum, there was a series of artwork on displayed for the up coming Art Show for September 16, 2010. The Gallery rooms and lighting was every good for displaying artwork. Be sure to call for an appointment at (415) 298‑7969 to see the galleries.

Art galleries come in all shapes and sizes and this one is right there in the middle as far as size is concerned but is huge in its scope and vision. I personally loved the wondering multi level design of the interior. It was tasteful and thoughtfully executed.
The dynamic local art expressed is truly an exceptional cross section of the SF art scene. Also the vibe at the gallery events at the first reception and the gallery show expressed a chic yet subdued feel. Those concerned with buying art were not hindered by red tape and those there to enjoy the art found delightful artists who were open, expressive, and engaged. According to the website: «Arc Studios & Gallery features 10 newly renovated artist studios, rental art gallery, art education center, and Blue Bottle Coffee.»
I highly recommend attending one of their upcoming events and noticing the inspiring and engaging art displayed which really captures the San Francisco feel.
