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.

The 10th Anniversary Love Show will celebrate the work of Bay Area artists featuring photography, paintings hand-blown glass and sculpture that explore the universal language of love. This is a visual dialogue about love in many interpretations – from literal depictions, allegory, and metaphors. Many of the pieces were created specifically for the show.
The gallery will also have handmade jewelry on display and artesian chocolates made exclusively for the show.
