Many of the listed galleries – the ones in the Downtown section – participate in the San Francisco tradition of First Thursdays. Many of them hold their openings on the first Thursday of the month, by keeping their spaces open from 5:30 – 7:30 PM. Not all of the downtown galleries participate in this event, and not all of them participate every month, but enough do to make it a fun and entertaining way to spend the first Thursday of the month in San Francisco.

So join in the culture club where you can meet up with friends, see some great art and have a few glasses of wine. The galleries at 49 and 77 Geary alone are worth the trek. Take the elevator to the 5th floor of 49 Geary and walk down, stopping on each floor along the way. From there fan out in the downtown area and see which of the others are open!

To find out what’s showing in the galleries, check out the What’s On When category for up to date exhibition and event announcements.
