Community, safe space, events, creativity hub for all things SF & beyond


Founded in 2020, the UZAY Galley is an art and gathering space in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District.
The UZAY Collective is comprise of five women artists who live, work, and play in the gallery. We are enthusiastic creators of art, music, poetry, dance, writing, digital creations, and creative energy here in the Bay.

Besides using our home to create our own works, we act as patrons and producers for exciting and innovative talent in our community —

both local and global. We invite artists and thinkers to share their works in our space several times a month by way of premiering performances, giving talks, displaying their pieces in our gallery space, putting on fashion shows, performing live music, reading their works, sharing food, encouraging dancing, and more.
Our collective aims to be inclusive and expansive, extending our passion for the arts within and outside our walls. We hope you will join us.

Mission + Vision


Focused on preserving the vitality of the bustling Mission District in San Francisco, UZAY seeks to partner with local artists, builders, designers, musicians, innovators, and activists to build community, share talent, and form meaningful connections. We recognize art as a regenerative and positive force for good. In a world driven increasingly by isolation, UZAY serves as a space for affinities, collaborations, and unity.
