Fraenkel Gallery One
of the gallery’s first exhibitions was of NASA’s lunar photographs, and
this set a tone for what followed. Soon came exhibitions by Eugene
Atget, Edward Weston and Diane Arbus, and later, the Bechers, Adam Fuss,
and Sol LeWitt. Projects have brought together work across all media,
juxtaposing photography with painting, drawing, and sculpture. Other
photographers whose work is regularly shown include Richard Avedon and
Man Ray. Museum of Craft and Folk Art The
emphasis here is on the varieties of non-mainstream ways that people
find to be creative – to see things afresh and make something new out of
them. This may include traditional folk art from all over the world. Frey Norris Gallery This
dynamic and extremely stylish contemporary art venue hosts exhibitions
of celebrated American and international works, including those by
prominent artists from China, Japan, South Korea, and Russia. Bay Area
artists are also popular. The staff provide help and advice to amateur
and serious collectors alike about the contemporary art market. Pacific Heritage Museum Occupying
the old San Francisco Mint (1875–7), on top of which the Bank of Canton
has been built. The bank sponsors the museum, which focuses on the art
of the Pacific Rim, aiming to bring the work of Asian artists to a wider
audience. Exhibitions feature many pieces on loan from private
collections. Museo ItaloAmericano Not
only a museum and gallery, but also a community center for San
Francisco’s Italians. Temporary exhibitions might focus on the work of
an Italian artist, or on some aspect of Italian culture. Classes are
also offered on Italian art and architecture, and cookery. Galería de la Raza Bi-monthly
exhibitions of Mexican-American art might include painters,
cartoonists, performance artists, muralists, or digital installations.
Programs also include films, panel discussions, and performances by
stars of the Latino art and music scene. Intersection for the Arts Radical
and diverse art emerges out of this hotbed of creativity. The
alternative multi-genre art installation combines live drama
performances, video and film screenings, and panel discussions, which
largely explore the influence of race and relationships on people’s work
and lives. San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery Opened
in 1970 this was one of the first galleries dedicated to showing the
work of emerging Bay Area artists. In addition, the Gallery Slide
Registry contains images by more than 500 professional artists from
across the US.
