Exhibits

Get up close and personal. Providing opportunities for people to experience visual art in person is a key part of our mission. We have three different exhibition galleries in our building, as well as outdoor and auxiliary shows around town.

1337 Gallery

  • Our main gallery features traditional, contemporary and cutting edge work by established and emerging artists throughout the Bay Area. Located at 1337 Fourth Street, this gallery showcases the best of local art through large storefront windows in the heart of San Rafael. To the serious collector, art lover or visitor, the gallery serves as the public face of Art Works Downtown and a direct connection to our community. View the current exhibit >
