SF Exhibits & Programs

Thoreau Gallery and Seed Gallery of Photographic Art

Thoreau Center art galleries provide gallery space for local artists and arts organizations to exhibit visual arts, create interpretive and artistic experiences for the visitor, and host community outreach programs. Through lively visual arts programming, the Thoreau galleries strive to enrich experience for tenants, visitors and the community, while promoting values of sustainability.

Exhibitions are selected throughout the year by the Thoreau Center Arts Committee, based on quality of work and how best the exhibition serves this unique community and visitors to the Presidio park.
