The Laundry SF, or simply The Laundry, is a contemporary art gallery, event space and cafe, founded in 2015 and located in San Francisco’s Mission District.[1][2][3] The Laundry curates exhibitions, which includes public programming around civics, fine arts, music, comedy, and live performances. The Laundry hosts a mix of works by emerging and established Bay Area and global artists.
It was founded in the year 2015[3][4] by Sara Ahmadian, Andrew Swerdlow, Gianmatteo Costanza and Dan Fredinburg.[5][6][7][8] The name of the gallery was due to the historic nature of the building they occupy. The building was erected in the year 1932, where a French family procured the place during 1940's and opened a French laundry service, being first within the community.[9][5]
The gallery is also known for its partnership with the restaurant Koomaj Kitchen, for bringing traditional Northern Iranian food to San Francisco.[10][11] Several scenes from the Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma were filmed at The Laundry.[12][13]
