This special exhibition distills the past 40 years of the SFAC Gallery’s engaged presence in the Bay Area art scene into an exhibition organized both chronologically and thematically. The exhibition features artwork, posters, mailers, photographs, and more culled from our own archive and loaned from previous staff and participating artists. Replay is a retelling of the SFAC Gallery’s history, from its early days of politically charged projects and notorious receptions through its current identity as a assiduous laboratory of the Bay Area arts community zeitgeist.

Replay is supported by Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax fund. The 40^th Anniversary Season is supported by the Zellerbach family Foundation and the Do a Little Fund.

About San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery
Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Civic Center, the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery makes contemporary art accessible to broad audiences through curated exhibitions that both reflect our regional diversity and position Bay Area visual art production within an international contemporary art landscape. By commissioning new works, collaborating with arts and community organizations and supporting artist’s projects, the SFAC Gallery’s programs provide new and challenging opportunities for contemporary art to engage with a civic dialogue.

The SFAC Gallery was founded in 1970 and is the exhibitions program of the San Francisco Arts Commission, the arts agency of the City and County of San Francisco.

The San Francisco Arts Commission
The San Francisco Arts Commission is the City agency that champions the arts in San Francisco. We believe that a creative cultural environment is essential to the City’s well-being. Our programs integrate the arts into all aspects of City life. The Commission was established by charter in 1932 (Charter sections 5.103 and 16.106).
