Slash

Slash is an artist-run 501c(3) nonprofit exhibition space founded by Ana İpek Saygı in 2018 to advance and promote the expanding field of contemporary art in San Francisco. Slash brings together local, national, and international artists through guest-curated and open call-based exhibitions, accompanied by publications and public programs.

Our main gallery programming supports the work of Bay Area-based, independent curators as they organize thematically relevant exhibitions that introduce globally exhibiting artists to Bay Area audiences, bringing them into dialogue with early-career artists and local artists. We work with our Advisory Committee and past curators to identify guest curators with strong artistic visions, roots in Bay Area, and connections to international communities.
