Jessica Silverman Gallery

Very cool gallery in the heart of the loin. You’ll see this area get more art galleries in the coming years and you’ll look back on this gallery as the trend setter. They choose excellent artists, I’ve been popping in periodically since they opened in 2013. Highly recommend.

This gallery moved in recently on a busy accessible corner in the Tenderloin. It stands out or its clean aesthetics and amazing art. The kind of art also stands out in an unique way: abstract and different styles each time.
Unfortunately, I never dared to enter the gallery and yet I’m hoping to introduce this kind of art to fellow residents.
It’s very different than the many murals seen throughout the TL. It also adds a different cultural space unlike the Luggage Storage which has been very accessible to me and and always visited by local and many others.
I realize that both art spaces have different backgrounds, which on the one hands I love because it exposes us to art that I more see near Union Square or Geary Street and that’s great to have as a source in this neighborhood.
But unfortunately, I started of on the wrong foot with them and felt even less welcome, in which I spoke up about on Unilocal.
This Gallery since then has apologized profusely and expressed their various contribution or inclusion of some of the neighborhood organizations.
I’m not sure, but at this point I have not seen any activity at the gallery that appeared really inclusive for local residents to attend openings or perhaps times when we can look around. There is always a huge contrast between the visitors of the gallery and how some of us, myself included present ourselves.
I would love to visit the gallery to view the different artists’ works as it is very inspiring to me as and artist who does has done abstract series.
We’ll see
