Arc Studios & Gallery at 1246 Folsom Street, San Francisco, California.

NOT EXHIBITING HERE AGAIN! As an artist that actually exhibited at Arc gallery. I didn’t take kindly the “treats” and aggressive behavior I received from this gallery. They don’t like to work around artist’s schedules. Instead they are focused on belittling artists. For example a simple call about picking up art was turn into an abusive event. In which a “Arc member” started treating me through the phone about picking up my art work. This same member in anger hung up the phone while negotiating a time for a pickup. Later to call me “without apologizing for his prior behavior” and gave me an unreasonable 1 hour period, when I live 3 hours away. Or else I would have been charged a ridiculous $50 dollars per day fee (payments in cash only) so they don’t have to report it to the IRS, essentially practicing tax evasion. It’s truly an organization built upon tax evasion and taking advantage of artists. How they expect me to work with them again? Or pay $35 dollars from my hard earn money on entry fees, is beyond me. But one thing is for sure in order for artists to work with galleries again, the gallery needs to be civil enough for that to occur. Otherwise why participate or support galleries such as this one to exist?
Recap:
- They don’t work with artist’s schedules and needs.
-Belittles its artists and threatens them.
-Aggressive staff members.
-IRS/Tax evaders, loop holing the States taxes in order to maximize profits from poor artists.
