Gallery 16 was founded in 1995 and conceived of as a new model in contemporary arts support on 16th Street in The Mission. Their objective was to show contemporary work in all media done by today's most exciting emerging and mid-career artists.
Now located in SoMa, Gallery 16 represents a new model for arts funding. Their opening in SoMa marks a new development in the marriage between buisness, technology, and the arts.
