We (Jackie Im and Aaron Harbour) love Et al. For over a decade we’ve dedicated a significant amount of our time and energy to the gallery and its related projects and programs. We’ve never made money with the gallery - we each have full-time jobs which, along with low rent in our home and the occasional sale has allowed us to keep the gallery going. Our current space has allowed us to stretch out both the gallery program, with its high ceilings and multiple rooms, and added the opportunity to share this space with the community.

This last year or so has been increasingly tough financially, even as the project thrives with events and exhibitions we are as proud of as any we’ve organized over our project’s existence. We are looking for donations to help cover the operating costs of our space. Ours as in Jackie and Aaron’s, but also ours, the community’s - more and more, we are trying to make this gem of a space a resource for a city/region sorely lacking in opportunities.

Some History 

Et al. began as a loose curatorial project of Jackie Im and Aaron Harbour. They met in 2010 and began curating in Kevin Clarke’s MacArthur B Arthur Gallery in Oakland until it closed, then independently, then opening their first physical space with Facundo Arganaraz in 2013 in the basement of a drycleaners in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Since then, they’ve expanded their footprint in the original location, taking over first the upper and then the ground floor before the gallery’s closure in 2023. Et al. had a large space in Minnesota Street Projects when the building opened, a smaller space next to Ratio 3 gallery in the Mission, and now they operate the large 2831a Mission space wherein there are three potential exhibition spaces, a bookstore, and in various other spaces another commercial gallery, a publisher, and poetry non-profit Small Press Traffic.
