Culture Cache Gallery started as a website devoted to unique Bay Area emerging artists in March of 1999. The time came one year later for the gallery to advance from the digital to the concrete side of the Industrial Mission district of San Francisco. Our first space in a Florida St. warehouse served well as a starting point, but we needed more foot traffic. After a year and a half there, we landed our present local on the corner of 17th and Bryant streets, which provides the gallery the visibility it deserves.

The styles represented reflect the energy of the street, the artistic elements that surround us as we move through our daily lives in the urban core. The techniques exhibited are often both pioneering and reflective of progressive movements indigenous to the Bay Area, which are part of the ongoing trajectory of contemporary artistic evolution in the West Coast. Merging from the digital highway onto the concrete frontier, Culture Cache introduces the art enthusiast to the finally titled 'Mission School, the 'low brow' aesthetic, and other localized movements finally gaining recognition. From painting to graffiti, collage to assemblage, the loud voices of these artists should be heard.
