Swarm Gallery was an art gallery located in the Jack London Square neighborhood of Oakland, California in the United States. Swarm, which opened in 2006 and closed in 2013,[1] exhibited contemporary art and was owned by Svea Lin Soll.[2] [3] [4] It focused on the work of San Francisco Bay Area artists, but not exclusively. It had an entire gallery space devoted to installation art.[5] Swarm featured contemporary work by emerging and established artists through exhibitions, flat files, studio space and programs, and was an experimental platform for sound, video, and installation-based work. Over the span of seven and a half years, Swarm Gallery presented over 70 exhibitions with some of the Bay Area's most beloved artists, provided 11 on-site rentals studios to more than 40 artists, and hosted hundreds of events and musical programs.[6] The gallery participated in Art Murmur.[7] In 2011, it was voted "Best Art Gallery" in the Readers' Poll in the East Bay Express Best of the East Bay.[8]
