After three fires and a pandemic-era closure, the beloved local gallery and event venue 111 Minna has remodeled and reopened.
“Some people might get bored of their jobs or their environment, but for me? No way,” says Michelle Delaney, owner and manager of 111 Minna Gallery, the cafe, art gallery, venue and bar in San Francisco’s SoMa District that recently celebrated its reopening after the pandemic shutdown and a series of devastating fires at the space.
To Delaney’s surprise, 111 Minna fulfilled much of what she had learned in film school, demanding her skills in lighting, video-making and event planning. “It’s been neat being in an environment where it doesn’t matter what you look like,” Delaney says. “I always coined us as ‘rock ‘n’ roll professionals’ because I can come here in whatever I want.”
Although Minna’s original Douglas fir flooring was destroyed by these fires, only one art piece was lost. It’s a beautiful answer to a bleak time in history. Fromm resuscitates the city with bold blues, rich reds and shades of pink and peach.
