Let's Go to FOG!
PACIFIC RIM SCULPTORS invites you to join us at the FOG Design & Art Fair in San Francisco, CA. Come spend the opening day of the FOG fair with us on Thursday, January 23rd starting at 1pm.
About FOG:
This art fair brings together leading international art galleries; prominent 20th-century and contemporary design dealers; and a weekend of exciting programs.
FOG has become a focal point for the design and arts communities on the West Coast and further afield. The fair is synonymous with a uniquely pioneering spirit due to its bold hybrid approach and intimate presentation of art and design, dynamic programming on-site and its community-led mission to champion art and design in its historic Fort Mason setting. Building on FOG’s longstanding commitment to cultural institutions, the fair’s Preview Gala is honored to continue its crucial support of SFMOMA’s exhibitions and education programs. FOG represents a key moment in which the local and global community congregate to engage in critical dialogue, artistic exchanges, and a shared passion for creative pursuits.
The event runs from Thursday, January 23rd til Sunday, January 26th. Open 11am-7pm each day.
