Welcome to Multimedia Gulch

 

Multimedia Gulch is loosely defined as the area in and immediately around South Park, a lovely little ovoid patch of green in an otherwise manmade environment. Bordered by Second, Third, Bryant, and Brannan Streets, South Park is tucked away in the eastern half of San Francisco's South of Market (or SoMa, for us transplanted East Coasters who secretly wish we were in Soho) and is home to scads of designers and developers: if you're an artist (or geek) in the Bay Area, and you're interested in digital media, you've probably spent some time here.

When you're in the 'hood, please drop by our spacious atelier and admire the view of the Bay Bridge on/offramp.
