MISSION. VALUES. VISION.

MISSION

The Drawing Room aims to make art and the process of creating art accessible, while supporting artists in their growth by sharing their work. Through relevant and thoughtful curation, we produce large-scale exhibitions based on social and environmental justice related topics, representing artists of all ages and abilities; sharing the visual voices of many. Our efforts are focused on enhancing the overall human experience for San Franciscans and visitors to our city by utilizing large dormant storefront spaces to showcase and support our diverse and vibrant artist community. Our exhibitions in these spaces help to illuminate dark corridors and bring life back into places that are struggling, while giving artists access to new collectors and patrons.

VALUES

VISION

To provide artists opportunities to create and share their work, in a physical and accessible space that is equitable, supportive, and inclusive. To provide an art experience for the public and passersby that is engaging, impactful and inspiring.
