Founded in 2009, Thumbprint Gallery maintains its involvement in supporting talented local artists by curating monthly exhibitions at the gallery and one night exhibitions at Bar Basic, located in downtown San Diego. Paul Ecdao and Johnny Tran are committed to their unique contribution to furthering the urban art movement that stems from outsider art, low/new brow art, street art and graffiti as well as support both established and emerging artists within the genre.

OUR SHOWS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
