San Francisco Music Hall of Fame
Honoring the Bay area's past, present, and future of music.
The only San Francisco Music is proudly operated under Music City Artist Development 501(c)(3). Located inside Music City Starfactory in the heart of the city, the San Francisco Music Hall of Fame honors all Bay Area musical history, including musicians, producers, cultural leaders, places, and events that shaped the city’s iconic sound.
The San Francisco Music Hall of Fame is comprised of three parts: The Gallery, The Brick Walk, and the Visionar Exhibits. Together, they represent and showcase the rich musical history of San Francisco and the Bay Area artists who helped define many generations.
The Gallery
Named Best New Museum Experience by San Francisco Magazine, The Gallery is a collection of 90+ high-quality large-format photography prints dominating the walls of the Music City Hotel hallways. Each print is accompanied by tributes written by prominent national writers like Ben Fong-Torres [Rolling Stone Magazine], Emma Silvers [KQED], Joel Selvin [SF Chronicle], and more. The accompanying audio tour component is included.
Visionars
We’re expanding the concept of the Hall of Fame Gallery and installing multiple exhibits throughout the complex. Every exhibit holds memorabilia that continues to pay homage to the past musicians who paved the way for music in the Bay Area and the world!
