About the Business
Abrams Claghorn Gallery believes that everyone has a unique story to tell through creative expression. We present over 80 local makers in our diverse collection of home goods and art for sale. We also feature local and emerging artists, rotating monthly in our gallery. We showcase works that allow artists to focus on concept and masterful craftsmanship.
.There are a several positive results from choosing only local artists as vendors. Most makers in the SF Bay Area are women, and if we choose our vendors based on quality alone, then it naturally follows that we will have a very representitive sampling of the local community, meaning most items in the shop are made by women. And, that also means that with many other factors (culture, ethnicity, age, etc) we have an accurate sampling of the artist community at large.
It is important to us that there are no ethical concerns for labor sourcing and few sustainability issues. We know personally 99% of the makers, and what their inventory is made with. None of the items we sell are made in factories. Almost all of the inventory is hand delivered, which means the vendor does not leave packing materials here, and any used by the vendor can be re-used for later transportation and delivery.
Last, and very important, it is crucial to us that the vendors get paid a fair amount for the items we sell. That means we are not always as inexpensive as other places.

- The Abrams Claghorn Gallery pairs a curated gallery space with a museum-style store that have exhibited and sold fine and functional artworks created by diverse Bay Area artists since April 2015. The Gallery hosts workshops that invite community members to learn about and work alongside the artists showcased in our exhibits. As a local-based and green organization, Abrams Claghorn Gallery would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank you" to the community for all of their support and further share how we contribute to the Bay Area art scene and local economy. 99% of our craft and art selections are made in the San Francisco Bay Area, most of which are hand delivered by the vendors. Because our selection process is based on the quality of the work, we have a diverse vendor base inclusive of gender, cultural background, and age, and we are always looking for better ways to increase the diversity of our maker base.
