Mina Dresden Gallery

Do not show here and do not buy from here. I had a show here in January and sold nearly every piece in it. After 5 months of hassle, lies, and excuses, the owner finally sent me a check. .. for less than I was owed. Over a week after I deposited the check, she put a stop payment on it, and I am again left with nothing — plus a bunch of returned check fees and lost faith in humanity. And she still won’t return my calls or emails.
Please do not buy from this gallery. If you want art find a reputable gallery that does not steal work from artists. If you’re an artist, don’t show here. i don’t know how commonplace her habit of not paying for the work she sells is, but I do know several other artists have had the same problems I have.

BUYERS BEWARE!
I purchased a print that apparently the gallery did not have in their possession. The owner claimed to be unaware of its absence as the show and purchase was precipitated by guest curator Ally from ‘Swoon Gallery’.
I had waited over a month and a half for the print to ship (it never did) and an additional month and a half to receive my refund. Up until a week ago, another person had ‘yelped’ about the same situation involving the same gallery/​show/​curator.
The owner was dismissive to my emails and the curator of the show (Ally from ‘Swoon Gallery’) was extremely rude, gave me the run around and further delayed a resolution.
Neither party delivered a refund when promised and I had spent hours of time and frustration trying to get someone to step up and deliver.
I will NEVER do business with either again.
UPDATE: Mina Dresden refunded my payment. I will NEVER deal with «Swoon» again.

This place is truly an artists gallery. I’ve seen quite a few shows here and what I really like is that there is always an eclectic mix of style and medium.
The space allows the art to be appreciated individually and Mina’s curatorial skills seamlessly makes the ensemble flow as a unit.
You can connect with her on Facebook to get on the mailing list for upcoming exhibits.

I saw a great little show here but unfortunately the website does not have past exhibitions shown. Too bad, it’s the best art I found in SF.

Cute little gallery that features book signings, craft shows, and art receptions.
