Slash offers two primary programming initiatives at our space on the Minnesota Street Project campus in the Dogpatch: Our Main Gallery supports Bay Area-based, majority independent guest curators as they organize thematically relevant three-month exhibitions featuring a mix of local, early career, and globally exhibiting artists; and /room/, our small project space, features a series of three-month solo exhibitions of artworks by local, emerging artists selected from annual open calls by guest jurors. We provide each guest curator and exhibiting artist with resources, including stipends, a meaningful exhibition budget, and technical and administrative support, enabling them to explore new ideas and pursue experimental and ambitious works.

Alongside exhibitions, Slash organizes public programs–ranging from screenings to live performances–in collaboration with guest curators, artists, and local art organizations–and produces exhibition catalogues in collaboration with art writers and independent art presses.
