Welcome to the newly remodeled Holy Cow Nightclub! Established in 1987, The Holy Cow has been an iconic go-to spot for socializing, dancing and fun. Our mission is to keep the party going!
Optimistically-named lounge bar on Folsom with more than a touch of San Francisco colour in its clientele. The plush up-market lounge area is lit in a deep red glow and has fine leather couches to recline on that suggest a certain patrician class rather then posiness. Yet the clientele cannot be boxed in either way: a happy mix of suits, gays, straights, clubbers, trendies and down home regulars, who come for the reasonably-priced beers and fine cocktails because service is friendly and spot on. Staff will carry large drinks to your tables and add a little extra shot of rum in your Caiparinha if you tip them well. Happy hour is really happy three hours (5-8pm) and the crowd are as friendly and laid back as the staff.
Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by A Plus D – aka DJs Adrian & Mysterious D - Bootie was the first club night dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of the bootleg mashup -- and is now the biggest mashup event in the world, with regular parties in several cities on four continents. Keeping your brain guessing and body dancing with creative song combinations, Bootie mixes and matches every conceivable musical genre, era, and style into one big dance party where everyone feels welcome, providing the soundtrack for the A.D.D. generation ... and free mashup CDs, given away like candy!

Established in 2009, Driftwood Salon is a fine arts gallery in San Francisco's Soma district.
Our Signature Mix Lost Art Salon’s founders and creative directors Rob Delamater and Gaetan Caron blend their distinct personalities to create the gallery’s curious and unmistakable air of an “art apothecary”. Intimately acquainted with each work of art in the gallery, Delamater and Caron have from the outset anchored the gallery’s mission to finding new audiences for artists who have been overlooked by the confines of art history. Through dedicated searches worldwide Lost Art Salon continues to rediscover new artists and collections, including: • Philadelphia artist John Whitworth Robson who defied his family's wishes and took off in 1905 for the art capital of the world, Paris, and later on returned to Hollywood to become one of the key scene painters of "The Wizard of Oz". • Alysanne McGaffey who landed at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1957, was just in time to become an integral part of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. • Dave Fox who fled Austria in 1939, would come to join a newly emerging art scene in Los Angeles. • Polish-born Jennings Tofel who arrived in New York City at the turn of the Century and would soon be mentored by Alfred Stieglitz. • Peter Witwer who created grand, stunning artworks in his Haight Ashbury apartment but would not be discovered until nearly forty years after his murder. Lost Art Salon serves our clients as an established resource for modernist, vintage, antique & contemporary art, embodying the atmospheres of an atelier, a fine art museum and a rare book library. We acquire our individual works and collections through artists’ estates, surviving family and friends, auctions, art dealers and myriad North American and European antique markets and fairs. Upon arrival at our gallery, our arts management team takes each piece through a diligent conservation and archival process detailing acquisition history and provenance. Prior to presentation in our gallery and online, our arts management team works from our selection of restored original period frames to classic contemporary frames to create the best stage for every piece. At Lost Art Salon, we are as inspired by the hunt and the rediscovery of historically significant artists and fine art collections, as we are with sharing these experiences and artworks with our clients.

Oliver Hawke Gallery ABOUT US: Oliver Hawke Gallery is a pop-up art gallery and art exhibition space producing monthly group and solo shows in the South of Market district of San Francisco. The gallery is affiliated with The Artillery SF, a film, visual graphics and animation studio. Oliver Hawke promotes new and emerging as well as established artists working in various media including illustration, painting, video art, photography and mixed media. The goal of Oliver Hawke Gallery is to provide a dynamic alternative art space where artists can exhibit and sell their art, where the public can be exposed to new artists and ideas in art, and to encourage the creative arts community of San Francisco. The pop-up gallery/exhibition space was a reaction to many local artists being priced out by rising costs in San Francisco. Our hope is that this space will promote artists living and working in the city of San Francisco. And for artists beyond, it will be part of a vibrant arts community.

With a background in law, non-profit arts administration and art dealing, Todd Hosfelt opened his gallery in San Francisco in 1996. Former museum curator and current partner Dianne Dec joined the gallery in 1997. In 2012, Hosfelt expanded and relocated to a 9,000 sq. ft. former door factory in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood, forming the nucleus of the new DoReMi arts district. Hosfelt Gallery's program is built around artwork with a refined level of execution that offers new perspectives on critical discourses in contemporary art, culture, and politics. We represent an international roster of emerging to established artists whose work is grounded in a broad understanding of history — visual, cultural, political and social. Their idiosyncratic synthesis of knowledge and skill results in artworks that allude to tradition while incorporating new ideas, materials and methods.
George Lawson Gallery represents a stable of artists who paint or work in disciplines with conceptual ties to painting.

Vision With Asia as our lens and art as our cornerstone, we spark connections across cultures and through time, igniting curiosity, conversation, and creativity. Asia is not one place. The ideas and ideals that we call Asian are countless and diverse. Some of the works we display pre-date written history. Others were recently created. Many have connections to works from other continents and other millennia. We explore these links, provoking discovery, debate, and inspiration. At the Asian Art Museum, artistic and educational programs empower visitors to discover the relevance of great artworks in profoundly personal ways. Immersed in our galleries, visitors ponder the universal values found in human expression. Through the bustle of daily programs, students of the world steep in cultures through art, music, dance, and tradition. In the clamor of our classrooms, children build bridges to old and new worlds. This is the vision of our Asian Art Museum. Mission Our mission is to lead a diverse global audience in discovering the unique material, aesthetic, and intellectual achievements of Asian art and culture.
