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.

Our latest drop is Untitled from Abner Nolan’s series, “American Negatives,” 2003.
This work is from a series of photographs edited and printed in a color darkroom from a large collection of found black and white negatives — roughly spanning the Baby Boom era. When printed in color the negative produces a monotone approximating a black and white, but the “flaws” in the negatives (scratches, light leaks, etc) often show up as a slightly different color cast.
