About Bekris
Bekris Gallery was founded to introduce artists from the southern hemisphere to American audiences in order to encourage a vital dialogue among American viewers and artists working internationally.
The proceeds of each Bekris exhibition will be contributed to an organization which serves the goals of food security and human development in one of the many countries called home by artists whose work Bekris Gallery presents.
We are located in downtown San Francisco in an historic building which was the 1908 center for telecommunications for the Western Union Company.
