Darin,
400 sq ft sounds "cozy" for use as a meeting space, but several meetup groups to which I belong have regular meetings where a presentation is given and/or prints are shared. Perhaps you could either create your own group or work with an existing group(s) to have some of those events at your gallery? There is also a bay area LF meetup.com group. It seems that the Sports Basement in SF and the Apple Store in SF have space and are open to meetings. Unfortunately, most of these are on weekday evenings, so I have yet to make it up out of the 'burbs to attend one, but here are a few that happened:

You'd have to limit the number, clearly 80+ people couldn't fit in your gallery, but there may be events that are too specialized for a large space that might be a better fit for your gallery.
