Southern Exposure (SoEx) is a not-for-profit arts organization and alternative art space founded in 1974 in the Mission District of San Francisco, California.[2][3] It was originally founded as a grassroots, cooperative art gallery in conjunction with Project Artaud which was a live/work artist community.[4][5] By the 1980s, they converted the gallery to a community space for supporting emerging artists.[4]
