Minnesota Street Project

Minnesota Street Project is an art institution in a former industrial area of San Francisco with multiple buildings that house artist studios, gallery spaces, and professional art services. The complex combines open workshops with smaller exhibition areas used by established and emerging artists.

The project was founded in 2016 by Andrew and Deborah Rappaport, transforming former industrial warehouses into a contemporary art center. The conversion brought new energy to a neglected neighborhood and created a place where artists could work without commercial barriers.

The institution hosts rotating exhibitions, maintains permanent gallery spaces, and offers cold storage facilities for art preservation.

The complex is located on Minnesota Street in the Dogpatch neighborhood and is accessible on most weekdays, though hours may vary by area. It is best to check specific times for galleries and studios, as not all sections are open simultaneously.

The site houses the Bay Area's only specialized cold storage systems developed specifically for art and film preservation. This facility attracts collectors and institutions from across the region who need long-term storage solutions for sensitive artwork.
