Artists that mainly inhabit and work in the city's artistic Mission district are breaking out of their comfort zone and moving into the diverse South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood. With art institutions such as SFMOMA, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Jewish Contemporary Museum, Museum of Craft & Folk Art, and the Cartoon Art Museum establishing a stronghold of art in SOMA, more artists and art galleries are venturing into this unique San Francisco neighborhood to live, work, and exhibit their art.
