Open Fridays & Saturdays 12–5pm and by appointment.

Cushion Works assists artists at critical stages of their development through the production of exhibitions, publications, and programs. Rooted in radical Bay Area cultural traditions, Cushion Works privileges direct audience experience and strengthens community by generating conversation around art and its possibilities. By focusing on emerging and lesser-known artists, Cushion Works honors those who have yet to benefit from broader recognition and places them in historical and cultural context.
