A small art gallery on the first floor of the University of San Francisco’s Gleeson Library | Geschke Center, focused on art from California. Admission is free, and it is open noon to 6 p.m. daily whenever the library is open. The current show, Market/Value, runs through November 10, 2026.
You don’t need a USF card: ring the doorbell to the right of the library’s entrance doors and staff will let you in, then tell them at the security gates that you’re there for the gallery. The nearest campus entrance is off Parker Avenue at McAllister Street, behind St. Ignatius Church. The gallery also hosts free artist talks, docent tours and lunchtime concerts.
