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.

Miki and Boas will discuss the new bronze forms of Miki’s ongoing Shapeshifter series, and give sneak peeks into her studio practice in Berkeley, as she prepares for her third solo exhibition New Mythologies with CULT Aimee Friberg Exhibitions. CULT Director Aimee Friberg will facilitate a Q&A after the discussion.
Overlapping memories related to his friendship with the artist and reflections on her work, Miguel López introduces Cecilia Vicuña’s sharp creative practice in the form of a letter addressed to the artist. He shares his intimate perspective on working with Vicuña over many years, as well as the enormous impact of her visceral entanglements between words and seed, sound and thread, quipu and blood.
Detroit-based Ghanaian artist Conrad Egyir will be in conversation with Ali Gass (Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Institute of Contemporary Art San José) on Zoom. The artist will discuss his new paintings for 4×8-bridges and his upcoming Facade Project with ICA San José in summer 2021.
Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present artist Joel Daniel Phillips in conversation with Philbrook Museum of Art Director Scott Stulen and poet Quraysh Ali Lansana.
