Virtual Exhibition on Instagram @shelterinplacetlm

If there's anything that this past year has shown us, it is that we're living in a new reality. In response, the Tenderloin Museum innovated the way that it celebrates Bay Area artists, and experimented how to transcend the physical limitations of the White Wall.

An open-submission gallery show, "Shelter in Place" invited all artists to submit work they have made during lockdown. Since April 1, 2020, the Tenderloin Museum exhibited artists’ work via TLM's Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, transforming our social media channels into an artist spotlight. Rotating daily, the spotlight showcased artists' work, generated dialogue, and encouraged viewers to make donations to artists experiencing financial fallout from the ongoing crisis. Now, despite that many artists are still scattered across the country, select works from our virtual Shelter in Place gallery page are finally able to be exhibited in person. 

An opportunity to share, connect, and inspire, "Shelter in Place" invites all creatives to join us as we venture into uncharted cultural territory.
