Next Opening

For the past few months, members have been exploring close-up and macro photography. Viewing subjects in such intimate proximity allows artists to shift the ordinary perspective, leaning into the abstract, unfamiliar, and unseen

We will also be joined by guest artist Tim Mayo. Mayo is presenting his new series featuring experimental colorized street photography from the Tenderloin and 6th Street corridor.

Opening Saturday, June 27th

Reception 12 - 4 PM

105 7th St (At the corner of Mission)

6th on 7th Photography Workshop embraces an โ€œart as therapyโ€ approach dedicated to improving mental health amongst the underserved community in San Franciscoโ€™s South of Market neighborhood as well as military veterans interested in the art of photography and creative storytelling.


โ€œWe view self-expression as a right, and want to give people the opportunity and platform to share their stories.โ€
— Tom Ferentz, Founder

A project of Tenants and Owners Development Corporation (TODCO), the Photography Workshop has served the community since 1992.

Originally called โ€œSixth Street Photography Workshop,โ€ when photographer and educator Tom Ferentz founded it with support from TODCO, the program was designed to last only six months. Over thirty years later, we are lucky to continue our mission of spreading the love of photography in San Francisco and beyond.
