Live Worms on Grant

Long considered to be an anchor of the North Beach gallery circuit, Live Worms is so named after a sign once proffering live fishing bait to the neighborhood. Now helmed by veteran North Beach artist Elizabeth Ashcroft, late of Grey City Gallery, Worms features select solo and group shows in addition to a variety of pop-up exhibitions and events hosted by artists who rent the space. It's surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and local boutiques, making it a natural hub for the First Friday experience.
