About
Art Guide SF is an independent publication covering San Francisco’s art scene. Founded in 2024.
We publish weekly guides to exhibitions, openings, and cultural events across the city—pairing comprehensive coverage with curated editorial perspective. Our goal is simple: help people discover what’s happening in San Francisco’s art world and decide what’s worth seeing.
Art Guide SF is not a directory or a listings service. Coverage is guided by editorial judgment, on-the-ground presence, and longstanding relationships within the local arts community.
Our Approach
We aim to be:
Comprehensive on Instagram, where daily and weekly guides live
Selective on the site, where we publish context, highlights, and reflections
Not every event receives an article. Inclusion in our guides does not imply endorsement, and editorial features are determined independently.
