1202 Contemporary, formerly Gallery 1202, is a women-led nonprofit art institute based in downtown Gilroy, just south of San Francisco. We are dedicated to uplifting marginalized voices through curated exhibitions, inclusive art fairs and expansive online platforms. Our mission is rooted in equity, shaped by creativity and committed to reimagining the relationship between artist and gallery. At the San Francisco Art Fair 2025, we proudly present works by four powerful voices in contemporary art: Laurie Barmore and Lisa Sweo Eul explore identity and emotion through mixed media and acrylic, while Deanna Schuerbeke brings dynamic depth with her acrylic and oil on canvas. Julia Sossinka offers delicate yet bold visual narratives through collage and ink on paper. 1202 Contemporary continues to foster a more just and vibrant art world--where every voice has a platform, and every storm matters.
