The People’s Gallery is a one year gallery project organized by Jana Blankenship, Harrell Fletcher and Jens Hoffmann located in the Mission district of San Francisco. The gallery will run from March 2011 to February 2012 and will present six exhibitions over the course of that period. The People’s Gallery is an extension of Fletcher’s and Hoffmann’s People’s Biennial, a large scale group exhibition that brings together artists and art works from five distinct American cities: Portland, Winston-Salem, Haverford, Scottsdale and Rapid City. The six artists that will be presented as part of the People’s Gallery program are all participating in People’s Biennial, organized by ICI. The People’s Gallery functions as a platform to look in depth into the work of these six artists and give them the opportunity to develop a whole solo exhibition under fully professional conditions.
