Catharine Clark Gallery and BOXBLUR

What you need to know

Catharine Clark Gallery has been showing contemporary art in San Francisco since 1991. The gallery moved to Dogpatch in 2017, settling into a space on Minnesota Street that includes the main gallery and BOXBLUR, a separate project room for experimental and time based work.

What to Expect

The artists represented here tend to work with social, political, and environmental themes. The shows are serious but not inaccessible. You will see painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation art that engages with real world issues rather than pure abstraction. Exhibitions rotate every six to eight weeks.

BOXBLUR, the adjacent project space, programs shorter run installations and video work that would not fit the typical gallery format. It is worth checking both rooms when you visit.

Dogpatch has become a quiet gallery corridor in recent years. Minnesota Street Project houses several galleries in one building, so you can see multiple shows in a single visit.

Visiting

Address: 248 Utah Street, Dogpatch (Minnesota Street Project)
Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11 AM to 6 PM. Closed Sunday and Monday.

Getting There

The T Third Muni line stops at 22nd Street, about a five minute walk. The 48 Quintara bus also runs nearby. Street parking in Dogpatch is generally available. If you are coming from downtown, the T Third is the most direct route.

Skip this if you want lighthearted or decorative art. The work here is intellectually engaged and sometimes confrontational.
