Like many businesses, Secession Art and Design had to pivot in 2020.  In this special episode between seasons, Secession's founder, Eden Stein, shares stories of opening a gallery in the Mission/Bernal 15 years ago. Starting Aug. 4 and running through Aug. 7, Secession will celebrate 15 years of business with a four-day pop-up up the hill on Cortland. Details about the event can be found below and on Secession's site.  Eden grew up in Santa Rosa and moved to The City in 1999. In her hometown, she did a zine for many years called 7th Street. Her work on the zine helped her travel the country and to Europe.  When she moved to San Francisco, she ended up on Mission Street across from El Rio. She went to SF State and worked at The Drug Store, which back in the day was a vintage store. Eden rented a booth there and sold vintage jewelry. It was her first inspiration to working with artists as a business.  During this time, Eden became a teacher at a pre-school in The City. She got close with some of the parents, even nannying a little bit. One of the parents owned an architecture firm on Mission Street. He offered that space for Eden to do holiday art pop-ups. She was also selling jewelry, both vintage and some she made herself, at street fairs around town. These were the seeds of what would later become Secession.  The original location opened in 2007. Then, in 2014, Eden lost her lease and miraculously managed to find a new spot a little further north on Mission. There's a fun overlap with Season 4 guest of the show Emmy Kaplan in the story of Secession's move.  Earlier this year, after nearly two years of moving the gallery and events online, Eden gave up on her shift to things like 20-minute goat hugs in the gallery. The pandemic proved that her family's spot a few blocks from the gallery was too small, and an opportunity for them to move back to her hometown opened up.  But that wasn't the way she wanted Secession to go out.  As mentioned earlier, from August 4 through 7 on Cortland Street, Eden will be hosting a pop-up to celebrate 15 years of Secession Art and Design. Details:  Featured Artists: Amos Goldbaum, Andreina Davila, Dianne Hoffman, Heather Robinson, Hilary Williams, Jenny Feinberg, Joshua Coffy, Nate Tan, Nathalie Fabri, Olena McMurtrey, Phillip Hua, Rachel Znerold, Silvi Alcivar, Shannon Amidon, and Stephanie Steiner.  Hours:  Thursday, August 4: 12-8pm Friday, August 5: 12-8pm - Anniversary Party 6-8pm Saturday, August 6: 12-8pm Sunday, August 7: 12-6pm  Address: 307 Cortland Ave (at Bocana), SF ​ Photography by Jeff Hunt

Special: Eden Stein of Secession Art and Design

 This week's podcast guest is all about collaboration - and not in the ways you might think. Yes, her brand, Secession Art &amp; Design, is a gallery, boutique and workspace in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood that's championed the local arts scene for well over a decade. And yes, she's managed to create an untraditional storefront that allows customers to experience curated shows and see the process of art being made in-house -- all on a bootstrapped budget. And it's also true that, for more than four years, Secession was awarded Best Art Gallery by San Francisco Bay Guardian newspaper readers for its continued efforts to push the envelope in exhibitions and wearable art. Last but not least, it has since grown to represent over 50 independent artists and designers. But Secession isn't the only thing Eden has collaborated with others on. Facing the need to continue operating her business as a new mom, she made the bold - yet ridiculously sensible move - to crowdfund her own maternity leave, and has seen restructured her business to adapt to being a new mom. How'd she successfully crowdfund enough from her community to keep her business running during her first days as a new mom? Find out on this episode of the Spirit of 608. Meet this week's guest, Eden Stein, owner and curator of Secession Art &amp; Design.   Sign up for the PressDope weekly email to get DIY PR tips and The Dope List of media opps, calls for pitches, FEST events and more ways to raise your visibility. &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3 Oh hey there!

After all, as a business owner, what happens to the business if she goes on leave? That's when she had the idea to throw it back to her community and turned to crowdfunding for help. Eden hopes that her story adds the conversation around women in business, and in particular, mothers in business. As she puts it, "You should have the choice to have a family and a business and not have to sacrifice."
