836M is a non-profit arts organization. Our mission is to ignite people’s hearts and minds through live artistic and cultural experiences. We create events, shows, and conversations that provoke strong reactions, lively debate, and deep curiosity and discovery. We hope to open minds and raise people’s awareness.

We are not only a non-profit art gallery. Our programming includes gallery exhibitions, documentary screenings, and events beyond our walls, including NextWorld’s office and public spaces in San Francisco. We assemble our content inspired by the art world and other fields, including science, technology, and sociology. We are just at the beginning of our story to grow and help local artists and local non-profit organizations by creating innovative partnerships.

We are inclusive, aiming to reach a broad audience interested in our mission and work. Our programming is intended for everyday art lovers, and we celebrate bringing artists and creative people together to share their perspectives with our community and the public.

836M is one of the Partner Organizations of NextWorld, a global organization combining investments and philanthropic activities under one brand with a common purpose of managing capital to benefit future generations. 836M shares offices with other NextWorld organizations and benefits from the ecosystem in many ways: networking, amplification, idea generation, access to experts, and mixing of audiences allowing 836M to have an immediate and magnified impact.
