Not right?

From modern art that excites you to the smooth lines of classical art that soothes your soul; from the soft, airy blending of watercolors or pastels to the bold, structured beauty of a gigantic sculpture, you’ll find plenty to gaze upon and be inspired by in artsy San Francisco. Best of all, many of these galleries are free.
It’s particularly enjoyable to see what’s new on the art scene at the various Academy of Art College Galleries scattered throughout the city. Here you’ll be able to take a break every now and then and pop in one of these little galleries to see the artists’ work showcased. In addition to ongoing displays, these galleries have special shows that add even more excitement to your trip.
The galleries we saw were at 625 and 688 Sutter, (cross streets Taylor and Mason); 410 Bush Street (at Grant and Kearny); and 79 New Montgomery (cross streets Market and Mission).
Complete your art appreciation tour of San Francisco with a visit to Rizolli or Borders Books where you can find quality art books to read on the plane on your way home.
