Okay so this is NOT a complete list because San Francisco has approximately one million galleries and my paint-stained brain can only hold so much — but these are the ones I physically detour for on my bike, the ones I drag my podcast-listening self into on a Saturday when I should be sleeping in. From photography temples to a literal converted mortuary (!!), this city's gallery scene is so good it hurts and I will die on this hill.

Galleries that wreck me every time — 9 items
Name	Address	City	My take
1Minnesota Street Project	—	—	—
2Hosfelt Gallery	260 Utah Street	San Francisco	Natural light SO good it basically does the curating for them — criminally underrated SOMA stop
3Anglim Trimble Gallery	1275 Minnesota Street	San Francisco	Legacy gallery energy — this place has been championing West Coast artists since forever and it SHOWS
4Ratio 3	2831A Mission Street	San Francisco	Blink and you'll miss the black facade but inside it's all bright white walls and genuinely wild contemporary stuff
5Incline Gallery	766 Valencia Street	San Francisco	IT'S A FORMER MORTUARY WITH SLOPING RAMPS — I think about this space more than is probably healthy
6Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts	2868 Mission Street	San Francisco	A community pillar since the 70s — the printmaking studio alone makes my paint-under-the-nails heart so happy
7Root Division	1131 Mission Street	San Francisco	Nonprofit, scrappy, full of emerging artists — basically the art school energy I dropped out of but miss
8Lost Art Salon	245 South Van Ness Avenue, Suite 303	San Francisco	Walking in feels like finding a secret Parisian attic — salon-style hung walls that overwhelm in the BEST way
9Balmy Alley	Balmy Street between 24th and 25th Streets	San Francisco	Okay it's an alley not a gallery but it's the mural mothership and my mural-chasing soul will not be stopped
