48 Pillars 2026 February 28 - April 4, 2026 Arc Gallery, 1246 Folsom St., San Francisco CA Featured artists: Mark Brodie, Tyrell Collins, Robin Denevan, Kristen Garneau, Jane Grimm, Karen Gutfreund, DK Haas, Britta Kathmeyer, Linda Larson, Krisztina Lazar, Kippi Leonard. LOLA, Leslie Lowinger, Derek Lynch, Stephanie Metz, Golbanou Moghaddas, Fernando Reyes, Thea Schrack, Robynn Smith, Siana Smith, Charles Stinson, Mary Valente, Kay Weber, and Dave Yoas This exhibition was inspired by a chance encounter at Flax with a close-out sale of deep vertical panels, 48” x 12” x 1 5/8”. 24 local Bay Area artists will produce two pieces each on these identically-sized panels that will exactly ring the gallery – 48 works total. This is the 11th Annual iteration of this exhibition at Arc Gallery. Along with our iconic FourSquared exhibition, this is essentially an exercise in "structural constraint". In both exhibitions, the artists are unconstrained in subject matter except to the extent that works need to be a series; but they are constrained in format. One might expect that constraining format would constrain creativity. Our experience has been the opposite - creativity has been unleashed. The results have been visually stunning.
