Lately, every time we see a group exhibition in San Francisco, we see Hilary Williams name as one of the artists showing. Whether it be 111 Minna, Polarity Post Productions, Arc Studios or 1:AM gallery, Hilary’s work is there. You may ask, why is she everywhere? Because she is a highly sought out artist that [...]
The other day, team 1:AM had the pleasure of receiving a visit from our friend, Josue Rojas. Josue has mastered the art of aerosol paint and shown at the gallery a couple of times. But in this blog post, we aren’t going to talk about his creative skills, we are going to highlight what he [...]
1997 to Present Day This multi-disciplinary sculptural mural involves seemingly animated furniture; tables, chairs, lamps, grandfather clocks, a refrigerator, and couches, their bodies bent like centipedes, fastened to the walls and window-sills, their insect-like legs seeming to grasp the surfaces. Against society’s expectations, these everyday objects flood out of windows like escapees, out onto available [...]
Zach is the youngest artist of “The City” group exhibition. His mixed media canvases seem beyond his years and we can’t wait to watch him grow as an artist in the coming years. ZACHARY KIRSHNER’S STATEMENT: I am able to express myself most fluidly by creating visual art, and find fulfillment in doing so. My [...]

Amaze and wow everyone passing by the gallery. Step #5 (most important). Add some Brian Goggin magic to have each furniture come alive. Now, it’s [...]
Don’t let Oliver Fader fool you with his quiet demeanor and hushed voice… He may be a man of few words but his pictures speak volumes. OLIVER FADER’S BIO Born and raised in San Francisco – Oliver Fader grew up exposed to many sub-cultural scenes. As many children of the ‘90s his parents divorced at [...]
Mark Ellinger is a phoenix. He has emerged from the ashes of the mean streets of San Francisco and has rediscovered himself through the lenses of a camera. He shares his story with no censorship and invites us to witness the lives that have unfolded on Sixth Street, Mid-Market and Tenderloin and the history that [...]
Defenestration is a large work and has weathered the elements for a long time. Brian Goggin estimates that it will take approximately $75,000 to restore the work today, and we are hoping to raise the money entirely through donation. While the money is being raised, Goggin and his team of volunteers have begun to restore [...]
One of our favorite pieces to look at everyday is David Fullarton’s Artist Statement. It is amusing, humorous, though-provoking and surprising. In this collage, we often debate, amongst the team, what our favorite part is but it changes everyday for us because we discover something that we did not notice before. David’s bio: David Fullarton [...]
