Artists’ Television Access (ATA) was founded in 1984 by artist John Martin and Marshall Weber. Originally a quirky art warehouse space called the Weber/Marshall Gallery located on 8th Street in the SOMA district. Due to a fire in 1986, the gallery moved to 992 Valencia Street in San Francisco in the Mission District and was renamed the Artists’ Television Access. It has shown underground movies, videos, and performance art in its fifty-seat (approximately) venue.

It has shown various experimental works by such artists as Craig Baldwin, who is one of the early artists at ATA and currently is the artist-in-residence. His Other Cinema showcase has shown different formats of film from a Super-8 film festival, documentaries, and many other films that, as Craig Baldwin states, “Have fallen through the cracks which deserves an audience.” This eclectic mix of different works deemed too radical or experimental for mainstream audiences. The also have a small art gallery that features artwork from local artists:
