About
Storefront Anand Sheth reclaimed a historic Mission District storefront and transformed it into a platform for contemporary art, design, and conversation. Developed with York Street Collective, the project blurred the boundaries between exhibition, retail, and hospitality, inviting visitors to experience objects within a spatial composition rather than as isolated works.
Constructed in under a month, the interior repurposed salvaged retail gondola shelving from a liquidating Rite Aid and paired it with custom millwork to create a flexible display system—turning the infrastructure of chain retail into architecture for independent makers.
Across a series of exhibitions and gatherings, the space hosted artists, designers, and collaborators whose work became embedded directly into the architecture itself. Storefront operated simultaneously as gallery, living room, and experiment—testing how design culture might inhabit the everyday spaces of the city.
