The Box Shop is a collaborative industrial workspace in San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood with shared equipment and affordable studios.

A Unique Space - There are no places (left) like The Box Shop in San Francisco where you can rent studio space and access professional-grade equipment and tools for sculpture and industrial arts with a community of artists supporting you through project-based learning. Our spacious indoor and outdoor workspaces enable the development of locally made monumental, complex, and one-of-a-kind creative projects.

By and for Community - We are rooted in our community, serving not just the artists inside The Box Shop but Bay Area-wide and hyper-locally in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood. We focus on enabling artists in underrepresented communities.

Collaboration and Participation - Beginners, experts, and people from all walks of life come together and contribute their knowledge and skills to each other’s projects– creating a learning, productive, and creative environment. Beyond our 100+ artists and studio members, 300+ community members come to participate in collaborative art making annually.

Radical Inclusivity - We have a low barrier for entry and focus on enabling artists from underrepresented communities. We serve all levels of makers and creators, from professional artists building large-scale public artworks to emerging artists and hobbyists. Members create a range of small to massive projects in metal, glass, wood, digital media, mixed media, and more.

Monumental Public Art - Shop artists develop large-scale, awe-inspiring, and often interactive art that reach and engage millions of people around the world.
