The showroom at Abrams Claghorn selects its exhibitions and resident artists by seeking out those with a distinct voice.
All of the work, both in the store and gallery, is made by San Francisco Bay Area artists and makers. The SF Bay area is rich with artists, makers, artisans, crafts people. Over 70 of them are represented here. When you buy something here, as a gift or for yourself, you also help support the local art community.
The gallery strives to exhibit local, emerging and underrepresented artists. Each show in the gallery starts by seeking out artists with a distinct voice.
There are two distinct spaces: a curated gallery space where the exhibition features one or a group of artists, all displaying work under one show title, and an accompanying museum-style store, featuring a wide range of hand crafted items in many mediums such as ceramics, wood, metal, leather, silk and other fabrics, and glass. And, of course, we have a good selection of fine art originals and prints.
We are inspired by the wide range of nationalities, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds of the artists who live in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We strive to include people of all gender identities, cultures, ethnicities, and religions in our gallery shows and in the shop.
The mission of Abrams Claghorn is to showcase artwork as the artist intends; the concept or statement is paramount, and we prefer to alter the gallery to fit the show.
The gallery will continues to change and evolve. Be sure to check in soon and often!
