About

Nate Mahoney creates art inspired by dualities. Design and art. Rural and urban. Photography and painting. Analog and digital. The work is centered on compassion for others trying to survive in our complex and inhospitable world. As a queer artist, and urban dweller, Nate reacts to the city with inspired work that communicates connections between people, time, nature, place, and space. Nate’s works often result from a research practice and collaborative process.

Nate received a MFA in Design from California College of the Arts, a MFA in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University, and a BA in Liberal Arts from The Evergreen State College.

Nate lives and works in downtown San Francisco, California.

As an artist and passionate contemporary art enthusiast, he designs events to bring people together in support of the arts community.

Events, such as “Urban Romance,” artists’ dinners, art gallery tours, and pop-up art exhibitions, revolve around connecting people and celebrating life through art.

 “My approach to organizing art events is collaborative and inclusive. I partner with non-profits, curators, local galleries, musicians, venues, and organizations like The Urbanist and to create accessible experiences that span from art openings to curated retail spaces. I believe in embracing the joyful aspects of life and using art as a catalyst for conversation, belonging, and action.”

Join us at my art events, bring a friend, and let’s come together to celebrate the art of our time.
