Das Mekka der Kunst am Union Square: die Haines Gallery ist ein Fest des visuellen Sinnes. Seit nunmehr zwölf Jahren ermöglicht sie den Betrachtern eine erhabenere Sicht auf die Realität, ohne dabei in eine Welt unverständlicher Darstellung zu entführen. Stattdessen kann man seine Zeit vor einem Ölgemälde von z.B. Tome Leaver verbringen. Bei seinen stimmungsvollen Baumdarstellungen in saftigem Grün zu einem stillen Himmel aus Gold glaubt man es mit Monet zu tun zu haben, der sich mal eben zu einem Mittagsschläfchen hingelegt hatte. Das Zusammenspiel der Farben ist fein überlegt, während sich die Gestik der Natur bloß in Umrissen abzeichnen lässt. Man findet auch Fotografien und Werke der neuen Medien. Buchstäblich seine Sinne anstacheln kann man zum Beispiel, wenn man das Werk Sharon Loudens betrachtet, das von Stachelschweinen inspiriert wurde.

Diese Galerie befindet sich tief im Herzen des Mission District und ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Die Wände hängen voller Werke von Künstlern, von denen man vermutlich noch nie gehört hat - obwohl sie der Rede wert sind. Verschiedene Vertreter lokaler Kunst stellen ihre Werke in diesem zwar etwas schäbigen, jedoch raffinierten Haus aus. An den Arbeiten findet man keine Preisangaben, was Kaufwillige jedoch nicht abhalten wird. Man sollte sich die Chicano-/Latino-Zeichnungen und Papierarbeiten nicht entgehen lassen, ebenso wie die Dokumentarserie zu Gefängniskunst oder die schönen Schwarz-Weiß Aufnahmen von Latinos aus der Nachbarschaft.
