Contemporary art gallery focusing on emerging Bay Area artists. Incline Gallery was founded and is owned by Christo Oropeza and Brian Perrin Incline Gallery is an alternative art space that fosters relationships between community and artists. We create opportunities for emerging as well as established artists to exhibit in a non-cube format that challenges and encourages experimentation in exhibition design. Our role continues to expand by facilitating outside curators, international exchanges and partnerships within a community based organization. Excerpt from DailySecret.com- Suggesting a trek down an alley in the heart of the Mission may sound like mean-spirited tourist advice, but turn down this one and you’ll discover a surprising treat – the Incline Gallery. Tucked between a bike shop and The Summit SF coffee shop, the Incline Gallery is so named because the exhibition space is spread vertically up a ramp that crisscrosses the building and makes for a wonderful wander. The exhibitions are thoughtfully curated and the shows I’ve seen have been humorous, thought-provoking and inventive - and you thought Mission alleys were only about murals.
