This is our running census of contemporary art galleries inside San Francisco city limits: which are open, which have moved or closed and when, and what is on the walls now. Every status comes from the gallery’s own site or, for closures, from named press reports, and every row links to its source. For where to go, read our galleries and First Thursday guide; for every kind of closed business, see the Closed & Moved tracker.

How We Built This
Sources
- Each gallery’s own website, for status, hours, admission and current exhibitions.
- The SF First Thursdays art walk and Minnesota Street Project sites, for which galleries take part or are resident.
- For closures and moves only: reputable press (SF Chronicle, SF Standard, SFGATE, Mission Local, KQED, ARTnews, Artforum, Hyperallergic), labelled “press report” in the table.
Method
- We last checked the galleries on . Each row’s check date is in the CSV; a gallery whose site would not load keeps its previous check date.
- A gallery is “open” when its own site shows a current program or regular hours, or when the First Thursdays organizer lists it as a current venue.
- A closure date is the date the gallery or the press report gives. If none is published we say so, and we never estimate one.
- Exhibition dates are shown as the gallery publishes them. Some galleries print a day and month without a year; we show those as given.
What This Data Cannot Tell You
- 5 galleries whose current status we could not confirm from an allowed source are left out until we can.
- Museums, university galleries, commercial tourist galleries and venues outside city limits are not included.
- Opening hours change often; check the gallery’s own site before you go.
