Join Design Bay Area as we celebrate the for a private tour of Napa Valley’s newest contemporary art destination, Serge Sorokko Gallery, led by founder and curator Serge Sorokko and architect Craig Steely.
The program begins at 1500 First Street, the gallery’s dedicated exhibition venue, where guests will receive a guided walkthrough of the U.S. premiere of CUBA: Two Worlds – One Vision by photographer Joseph Kiblitsky. The exhibition brings together powerful photographic portraits of Havana and Miami’s Little Havana, exploring how one culture unfolds across two distinct social and political landscapes.
Following the exhibition tour, attendees will walk just steps down the street to the gallery’s primary space at 1301 First Street. There, guests will explore the gallery’s rotating presentation of post-war and contemporary works by internationally recognized artists, including Donald Sultan, Hunt Slonem, Yuri Kuper, Adé Bolaji, Jordy Kerwick, Miguel Condé, Jean‑Pierre Rives, and Leonard Baskin.
During the tour, architect Craig Steely will discuss the design philosophy behind the gallery’s dual-space concept. His sculptural approach transforms the traditional “white box” gallery into a dynamic spatial experience. At 1500 First Street, rotating circular partitions activate the exhibition environment, while the larger 1301 First Street gallery uses curved architectural forms to create a sequence of intimate viewing rooms that shape how visitors move through and encounter the artwork.
Founded by Serge Sorokko—who previously operated internationally recognized galleries in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York—the Napa galleries represent an exciting cultural addition to downtown Napa, bringing museum-caliber contemporary art into conversation with the region’s celebrated design, hospitality, and wine culture.
