Moth Belly Gallery — Attraction in San Francisco

Moth Belly Gallery is an art space unlike any other. Founded and operated and by two local artists who joined forces to support fellow creatives in the community, Moth Belly and has become a thriving hub for artists and collectors ever since they opened their doors. With an ever-changing display of thoughtfully curated artwork which is rotated monthly, this gallery presents diverse collections of visual art including textiles, sculpture, collage, paintings, drawings, and beyond... They have also hosted live music events, open mics, film recordings, artist interviews and more. Collectors will find fresh, contemporary artwork for sale in a happy range of prices, and can enjoy the knowledge that their purchases will directly support the artists at a higher rate than your average commercial gallery. The owners themselves are kind, friendly and knowledgeable people who staff the gallery themselves and happy to answer any questions or share more information about the artwork with anyone who steps into the gallery. Whether you stop in for an opening night during the First Thursdays Tenderloin Art Walk, or visit for a quiet gallery viewing on their open hours Thursdays - Saturdays, you are sure to be mesmerized by this...

This is one of the coolest places in San Francisco!!! Every First Thursday, Mothbelly opens a new exhibit of amazing affordable art.

PLUS it's an artist run gallery- which means the curation is choice, the exhibits are super tight and professional, the programing is BOMB, and you can trust they're treating their exhibiting artists well. Every art opening is a total banger, the space is always completely full of of interesting, fun, sweet, creative, hot people (RARE). I hadn't had the pleasure of experiencing a space like this for many, many years, and my first step into Mothbelly reminded me that the world ain't all that bad ALL the time. Doom...

I can’t say enough good things about Moth Belly and its founders Calamity Fair and Seibot. The gallery is a gift from these two artists to both the SF art community and their beloved Tenderloin. From the thoughtful and clever curation of diverse monthly exhibitions to the gorgeous bathroom, the love poured into Moth Belly is evident everywhere you look. It’s a great place to see art you may not see anywhere else and meet local artists and art enthusiasts. I highly recommend a visit to join the wonderful, wild, and weird Moth...
