The gallery interior was inaccessible and visitors can only view artwork by looking through a reverse peephole located on the storefront.

The monthly exhibitions at Savernack Street usually featured a single piece of artwork that appears larger or life size when viewed through the peephole.

[1] Savernack Street Gallery was founded in 2013 by artist Carrie Sinclair Katz shortly after receiving her MFA degree from the San Francisco Art Institute.

The artist said her motivation was to comment on the difficulties an emerging artist faces when trying to crack into the art world[2] and that the small size of the gallery and its limited access was “[..] a practical issue about how much square footage in San Francisco costs right now” and was all she could afford.

[5] Exhibitors have included artists j.Frede,[6] Jo Babcock,[1][3] Juan Fontanive, Peggy Ingalls,[2] and Lee Hunter.
