San Francisco Art Galleries form RAIL alliance
February 14, 2007: Ampersand International Arts, Ping Pong Gallery, Silverman Gallery and TART announce their creative alliance, RAIL.
About RAIL
RAIL’s project spaces and galleries are located in the path of the new MUNI T train that connects the Third Street, Dog Patch, South Beach and Mission Bay neighborhoods. RAIL is distinctive and challenging and through their collective experiences’ RAIL will ensure the growing arts presence in Third Street and beyond. While the galleries are diverse in their programming, they share an understanding of what constitutes an art experience, informed by the intimate nature of their spaces. RAIL stands as an open invitation to the neighborhood and the San Francisco arts community.
Ms. Jessica Silverman, RAIL’s spokesperson stated:
“RAIL was developed to develop reciprocity in order to create a broader audience, locally, nationally, and internationally.”
April 7, 2007 will see the launching of RAIL’s first action, a regularly scheduled Art Walk highlighting the 4 galleries and other local cultural partners. A map will accompany the first Art Walk. During 2008, a project will be developed with a Los Angeles museum, while 2007 holds local and international symbiotically curated shows.
RAIL has been lauded by Whitney Chadwick (art historian/curator), Kevin Chen (Director at Intersection for the Arts), Courtney Fink (SoEx Director), Kate Fowle (California College of Arts, chair of MA Program in Curatorial Practice), Berin Golonu (Associate Visual Arts Curator at Yerba Buena Center for the arts), Ann Hatch (CCA Board of Trustees, Chair), Meg Shiffler (SF Arts Commission Gallery Director), artists, critics and curators for its innovation and creative approach to raising the profile of the arts in the San Francisco Bay Area.
