Ingleside Gallery

Where Art Lives in the Everyday

Ingleside Gallery began as a grassroots pop-up in San Francisco’s Ingleside neighborhood and has since grown into a citywide project dedicated to showcasing emerging Bay Area artists. From West Portal cafés to Polk Street barbershops, we create space for art that deserves to be seen—uplifting local, underrepresented, and often overlooked voices.

 

Founded and curated by artist Shrey Purohit, the gallery was built with the support of a local business incubator and a generous network of neighbors, volunteers, and art lovers. What started as a small community effort has become a growing platform where contemporary art and everyday life meet.

 

Visit us at Ballast Coffee, People’s Barber, and rotating pop-up venues across the city—open during venue hours and always accessible online.
