Host your event in our gallery
Root Division is located in San Francisco’s Mid-Market / SOMA neighborhood. Our multi-use facility houses artist studios, a large gallery space, and a classroom, in which we offer a variety of arts and educational programming. This dynamic arts ecosystem offers a unique and flexible location to host an event in the heart of San Francisco. The rentable portion of our facility ranges from 750 – 3000 sq ft. and includes spaces that are ADA accessible. Please see rates below for sizing options.
We recommend sending requests at least 30 days in advance of your event due to limited availability in our programming calendar. Please fill out the request form below after reviewing the information on this page and a member of our team will respond within 3 business days.
