- "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. The dynamic local art expressed is truly an exceptional cross section of the SF art scene. Also the vibe at the gallery events . . . expressed a chic yet subdued feel." - Doug A. on "Yelp"

The South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco
San Francisco’s SOMA offers a vibrant & diverse art experience:
Artists that mainly inhabit and work in the San Francisco’s artistic Mission district are breaking out of their comfort zone and moving into the diverse South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood. With art institutions such as SFMOMA, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Jewish Contemporary Museum, Museum of Craft & Folk Art, and the Cartoon Art Museum establishing a stronghold of art in SOMA, more artists and art galleries are venturing into this unique San Francisco neighborhood to live, work, and exhibit their art.
The South of Market district may be the most diverse neighborhood in a culturally diverse city. You can find practically anything you want in SOMA. South of Market is a huge district, sprawling from the Embarcadero to Eleventh Street, between Market and Townsend. Once known as “South of the Slot,” in reference to the cable car line down the center of Market Street, this “wrong side of the tracks” San Francisco neighborhood is a still evolving, often contradictory collection of urban spaces and experiences. The neighborhood is a patchwork of warehouses, swanky nightspots, art spaces, residential hotels, loft condominiums, furniture showrooms and the tenacious Internet companies that survived the tech market collapse.
Arc Gallery & Studios inhabits the former location of New Langton Arts Foundation which closed it’s doors in 2009, and the partners of Arc - Mike Yochum, Priscilla Otani, Stephen C. Wagner, and Matthew Frederick - are pleased to carry on the tradition of the space as an arts venue contributing to the vitality of the SOMA neighborhood.
