Enjoy the Freedom to Create in San Francisco

San Francisco Travel has launched a new initiative called SFMeetCulture, designed to connect meeting planners more easily with San Francisco’s most historically significant art and culture venues.
If you're looking for a deep, authentic art experience that’s well off the beaten track, head to one of these respected visual art destinations, which offer plenty of counterculture to explore beyond the (decidedly awesome but maybe you’ve already done it) street-mural tour.
Among the thousands of noteworthy destinations in San Francisco, there are a few that the local cognoscenti frequent. Eight San Franciscans-in-the-know share their favorite places to watch live performances, see art, eat, shop and share a few hidden gems.
