In a recent article by KQED, San Francisco’s iconic art gallery and event venue is vividly captured.

Highlighted in the article are the diverse array of artists who have found a home at 111 Minna, including names like Jeremy Fish, Sam Flores, and Lady Mags.

Michelle and Alex join Jeff Hunt of StoriedSF for a discussion of how they came to be at 111 Minna, starting from the very beginning.

Ready your SF bingo card: Michelle Delaney is a punk rock mom who runs an art gallery in The City.

In this podcast, we get to know Michelle and 111 Minna co-owner Alex Kivelstadt. The two talk about their lives leading up to the moment they purchased the art bar/cafe from its previous owner.

Check back Thursday for Part 2, when we’ll hear the story of Michelle and Alex taking over 111 Minna, and what they’ve been doing with the place since shelter-in-place took effect in March this year.

Sadly, the gallery is still closed due to the COVID-19 restrictions. But they’re still fundraising and doing virtual shows from time to time. Follow them on Twitter and Instagram or check their website for details.

We recorded this podcast at 111 Minna Gallery in September 2020. (via StoriedSF)
