Celebrate the opening of Material Memory with SWIG in collaboration with Moth Belly Gallery on January 16th from 5–9pm. This free opening reception invites guests to explore an exhibition centered on material, process, and the ways objects carry memory. The show features works by Fernanda Martinez, Carolynn Haydu, Caity Salamanca, and Wren Sayler, whose practices engage texture, form, and transformation.

Hosted at SWIG—an established San Francisco venue known for its cultural programming, live entertainment, and community-driven gatherings—the evening offers a relaxed, social setting to experience contemporary art. Moth Art Gallery, an artist-owned and operated gallery based in the Tenderloin, brings its commitment to supporting emerging and underrepresented artists through thoughtful exhibitions and community collaboration. Guests are invited to enjoy happy hour specials throughout the event while engaging with the work and the space.
