Sargent Johnson Gallery
Located on the 1st Floor
Founded in 1977, the Sargent Johnson Gallery is named for one of the Bay Area's most prominent sculptors, Sargent Claude Johnson. Born in Boston on November 7, 1888, Johnson came to San Francisco in 1915. Although he was better known as a sculptor, he was also an accomplished graphic artist, painter, ceramist and enamellist.
The mission of the Sargent Johnson Gallery is to celebrate art through the promotion, exhibition and documentation of Black visual culture, with a focus on exhibiting works by African American artists from the Western Addition and the greater Bay Area. The Sargent Johnson Gallery serves to expand Afro-centric art activities, enhance knowledge and appreciation for the visual arts and promote the growth of African-American art.
