This spring, from Thursday, April 17 to Sunday, April 20, the San Francisco Art Fair returns to the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Renowned for drawing large crowds, the fair celebrates modern and contemporary art through a showcase of exceptional galleries and thought-provoking programming.
For its 13th edition, the fair will feature over 85 leading galleries from the Bay Area and around the world. Attendees can look forward to first-time participants like Jessica Silverman, Anthony Meier, and Micki Meng, as well as returning favorites such as Catharine Clark Gallery, K. Imperial Fine Art, and Scott Richards Contemporary Art.
New this year is a dedicated section honoring East Bay galleries and artists, highlighting the region’s dynamic creative community. The fair will also feature Jewel Box, a special project presented by Creativity Explored, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that supports artists with developmental disabilities.
The festivities kick off on Thursday, April 17 with an Opening Night Preview from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., offering early access to exhibits for Fair Pass holders and VIPs. Throughout the weekend, the fair will also host public programs including artist talks, panels, and participatory installations. Among the highlights are a live performance by Marc Horowitz, hands-on block printing with the Museum of Craft and Design’s Mobile Make Art Van, and the collaborative mural project Echoes, celebrating the Bay Area’s underground art scene.
