Adobe Books Backroom Gallery

The Adobe Books Backroom Gallery provides a space for experimental artworks inside a used bookstore that has been a hub of community connection and activity in the Mission for over 25 years. The Backroom's mission is to be an alternative space where artists can make momentous decisions in their practice and experiment freely in the company of their peers. The cooperative is also interested in building a more explicit, dynamic connection between the bookshop and the exhibition space by encouraging artists to make site specific works that reference or engage with the bookstore. The Alternative Exposure grant supports the presentation of A Collection of Collectives, three exhibitions in the 2017 program curated by guest curator Marc Mayer.
