About
The third annual FOG Design+Art fair will open to the public January 14–17, 2016, at the Fort Mason Center Festival Pavilion, with a special Preview Gala on January 13. During these four days in January, San Francisco becomes the epicenter of art and design, celebrating modern art, architecture, technology and design, with dynamic exhibits, custom installations, pop-up galleries, as well as presentations and discussions by leaders in the field.
“We are delighted to bring FOG Design+Art back for a third year,” said Douglas Durkin, FOG Forum chair and member of the FOG Design+Art Steering Committee, which conceived and developed the fair. “Reflecting the creative energy and unique, innovative spirit of the West Coast, FOG Design+Art has become a destination event for collectors, designers, artists and anyone who appreciates innovation in design, pop culture and technology.”
A benefit for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), FOG Design+Art will feature over forty prominent 21st century and contemporary art and design dealers from the Bay Area and beyond, including the return of Stanlee Gatti’s iconic 21POP installation, pop-up culinary experiences from Cotogna and Jane, and a lineup of presentations, lectures and engaging discussions with leaders in the design and art worlds. Reflecting the spirit of the San Francisco Bay Area, this year’s FOG Design+Art will honor Instagram co-founders Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom at the Innovators Luncheon on Friday, January 15, also featuring renowned design writer and sociologist Sarah Thornton who will moderate the discussion.
