Upper Market Gallery:

Who Are We?

Upper Market Gallery is a multidisciplinary fine art and design space founded by Olivia Robertson in 2020, in collaboration with her mother, the sculptor Ann V Capitan. As a San Francisco native raised among artists, Olivia wanted to pay homage to and build upon the loving, inclusive artist community her mother introduced her to growing up. By providing a more flexible and inviting platform to engage those interested in art, Olivia hopes to offer artists and art lovers the opportunity to share, grow, and collect in meaningful ways.

Upper Market Gallery aims to connect underrepresented & emerging artists with collectors in the Bay Area and beyond. And in its small storefront nestled in the emblematic, twisting streets of the Castro/Twin Peaks neighborhood, UMG hosts curated, thematic exhibitions - featuring creatives who are primarily based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

UMG aims to break down the barriers of the art world by being community- and artist-focused, hosting virtual and physical events from studio visits to performances to workshops, and more, bringing together musicians, designers, writers, chefs, and teachers and students of all kinds in the city by the Bay.
