Passion Projects SF (PPSF) is a San Francisco-based nomadic gallery, shop, and community space celebrating the personal fine art of visual effects and post-production artists: the painters, sculptors, photographers, and writers who have shaped some of the most iconic films and television of our time.

For decades, the Bay Area has been a heart of the visual effects industry. ILM, Pixar, Tippett Studios, and others have called this region home, drawing generations of deeply skilled artists whose professional contributions are legendary but whose personal creative work is rarely seen. PPSF exists to change that.

Through curated exhibitions, an online gallery, retail sales of original work, artist talks, workshops, and community events, PPSF gives these artists a place to share their passion projects with the public, and gives the public a way to meet the full creative lives behind the films and television they love.

PPSF is online now and growing, with its inaugural exhibition coming to San Francisco in Fall 2026 and a long-term vision of a permanent gallery and shop in the city. A sponsored project of SOMArts, PPSF maintains an active presence at passionprojects.art and a growing roster of participating artists connected to the global VFX community.
