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.

We are pleased to invite you to A Language For The Commons, Lena Wolff’s second solo exhibition with the Sarah Shepard Gallery. Wolff’s new work links the iconography of American quilts with symbols for democracy, motifs from nature, and the universe at large. The centerpiece of the show is a 6 x 7 foot paper collage made over a 14-month period during the pandemic. This monumental work is presented alongside new wood star sculptures, richly colored abstract collages, and a collection of related drawings that form an interplay of poetically related images.

Lena Wolff: A Language For The Commons is on view at the Sarah Shepard Gallery through December 7, 2021.
