/ (Slash)

/ (Slash) is a 501c(3) nonprofit visual art space founded by Ana İpek Saygı in 2018 to advance and promote the expanding field of contemporary art in San Francisco through exhibitions and public programming. Slash aims to connect local artists, curators, and audiences with national and international artists and is run by a small team.

Slash's main gallery programming supports the work of Bay Area-based, independent curators as they organize thematically relevant exhibitions that bring international and globally exhibiting artists into dialogue with early-career and local artists. Slash works with their Advisory Committee and past curators to identify curators with strong artistic visions and roots in Bay Area and international communities and collaborate closely with each guest curator. 

/room/ is the small project space adjacent to the Slash main gallery dedicated to exhibiting work by local, emerging artists selected from annual open calls by a series of guest jurors. Selected artists are invited to exhibit experimental solo projects developed collaboratively from their submitted proposals, accompanied by public programs.

Slash exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.
