FOG Design+Art Fair is back for its 11th rendition at Fort Mason Center from January 23-26. Visitors can explore 59 stunning exhibitors in total, with 13 galleries presenting FOG FOCUS.
The creative fair will feature installations, activations, and performances on site, along with inviting galleries to feature solo exhibitions from up-and-coming artists who have not received institutional recognition in the art world. Fog Talks will also be returning for another year, exploring topics and issues relevant to art and design today.
This year includes the addition of FOG MRKT, which is a selection of products and crafts created by artisans in the Bay Area and beyond. Each year, the fair hosts a glamorous Preview Gala, this year on January 22 to benefit SFMOMA. The event raises funds for the museum’s education and exhibit programs throughout the year. The event includes food, craft cocktails, and the first look at the fair’s exhibits. The event lasts from 4 to 10 pm, and individual tickets start at $250.
Single-day tickets for the fair are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. If you want to explore the fair all four days, you can buy a pass for $80. You can reserve tickets for the fair online now.
FOG Fair began in 2014 as a place to host the international art and design world in San Francisco. Since then, it’s grown every year thanks to a committed group of San Franciscans who continue to push boundaries in SF’s creative communities. FOG Fair is just one event happening during SF Art Week, a newly official event in San Francisco that features a wide range of creative events happening in SF and the Bay Area between January 18 and 26.
“FOG Design+Art has always been about celebrating our creative community and fostering connections within the art and design world,” said Sydney Blumenkranz, Director of FOG Design+Art in a recent statement.
