Eight bridges connect the San Francisco Bay, so it is an apt name for a gallery platform that brings the Bay Area art world together.
Our mission is to maintain a vibrant gallery scene, despite restrictions on travel, celebrations and other larger gatherings. We want to support our artists by informing and entertaining curators, collectors and critics with potent online exhibitions of their work.
On the first Thursday of every month, we will launch 8 shows of artists relevant to the Bay Area. They may be working in this place, long considered an epicenter of change, or deeply engaged in the conversations the Bay Area holds dear, whether it’s related to technology, the environment, social justice or sexual identity, to name a few. In addition, each month will highlight the crucial work of a Bay Area non-profit arts organization.

Rena Bransten Gallery presents Solo, four works from four artists. These works are imbued with a deep longing for connection and intimacy, while gently engaging our understanding that there is a freedom found in individual autonomy. Through these images, we are also acutely aware of the conditioning the current pandemic has caused: a visceral reaction when we see humans “too close.” Both the longing and the apprehension are ever present.
