Located in San Francisco Chinatown, Now Place is a bookstore, art space, and community hub for Asian diasporic, queer, and emerging voices. We hold space for the in-between — between languages, identities, disciplines, and belonging.
More than a store, we are a place for gathering: for workshops, readings, panels, pop-ups, and afternoons with a cup of tea and a pile of zines.
Come visit. Stay a while.
Build something with us.



A home for independent publishing, shared dreams, and unfinished thoughts.
🌱 Our physical space is blooming soon
We’re reopening our doors this fall — with a new home built for stories, creative care, and collective dreaming. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated.

WHAT WE DO
After pandemic, we started to actively curate in-person programs include: Creator Tea Talk, Experience Share-out, Studio visits, workshop and exhibitions.
In this fashion, we aim to offer a quality platform to represent, expand and connect the Asian diaspora artists in America.
