For anyone just now recovered from January’s San Francisco Art Week, get your tote bags and Tabi boots ready for another major fair is returning to Fort Mason’s Festival Pavilion.
The 14th edition of the San Francisco Art Fair aims to highlight the richness of the Bay Area’s visual arts scene. Local galleries include Catharine Clark Gallery, Jonathan Carver Moore and COL Gallery, alongside international exhibitors such as Sobering Galerie of Paris, Gallery Playlist of Busan, South Korea, and Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art in Calgary.
This year’s programming places a special emphasis on Asian American Pacific Islander artists from the region – a focus that feels especially resonant in the Bay Area’s Pacific Rim cultural landscape, and amid today’s political climate.
The fair is partnering with the Asian Art Museum and the Asian American Art Initiative at Stanford University’s Cantor Arts Center. The Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco and Edge on the Square will also present community-focused work.
