About Gallery 2727

We are a cooperative, artist-run art gallery located in South Berkeley at 2727 California Street. Our mission is to provide opportunities for emerging visual artists in the Bay Area to show their work and develop their practice. Gallery 2727 supports a vibrant community of artists of diverse styles, mediums, life experiences, and perspectives.

The gallery space hosts co-op exhibitions on a rotating basis, with dedicated 1-month exhibitions occurring 4-6 times per year. In between, the space is dedicated to performance, assembly, and community programming, during which co-op members are invited to collaborate and show work on a short-term basis.

Members are encouraged to host workshops and events, use communal creative facilities, and take advantage of the 2727 network. We are also committed to providing access to mentorship and professional development in arts and business.

Criteria for Membership

We are seeking emerging visual artists of all experience levels from the SF Bay Area. Potential members must be serious about their art, show clear direction, and present their work in a professional manner. Members must be willing and able to contribute time and effort to the co-op, including staffing, supporting operations, attending openings, and serving on a committee of their choosing.

Application period: July 10 – August 8  |  Members will be selected in early September
