  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.

  Second Sunday Studio Visit
  with PRS Member Oleg Lobykin

  Join us for the Second Sunday Studio at the studio of Oleg Lobykin. A classically trained master stone carver, as an artist and sculptor he works in a variety of materials to express his conceptually driven ideas in novel sculptural form, experimenting with texture, materials, color, or interactive elements.
  

  "Observing the natural world and mystery of transformation inspires me. My work depicts an ongoing search for the origins of form and exploration of portals to other dimensions. Shifting realities is a recurring theme in this work, as are transformation and challenging perception. Ideas that are thought-provoking, impactful, and engaging take form in the visible realm."

  -Oleg Lobykin

  General PRS Membership Meeting &

  Second Sunday Studio Visit - Jan Blythe

  Join us for first PRS General Meeting of 2025 plus a Second Sunday Studio at the studio of Jan Blythe. 

  This will be an engaging opportunity for members to connect, ask questions, and stay updated on the latest developments within the organization. This interactive session will cover news about upcoming exhibitions, projects, and initiatives, with time for open discussion to hear your feedback and ideas. Whether you're a long-standing member or new to PRS, your voice is essential to shaping our vibrant community.

  Our General Meeting will be hosted at the studio of Jan Blythe, one of our newest elected Board Members. This day will double with a tour of Jan's space and short discussion of her works.

  "I collect “stuff”. I am a hoarder of objects and materials old and new. My studio is bursting at the seams with things that I’ve gathered from flea markets, hardware stores and nature. There is furniture, fabric, ladders, tar, ash, jewelry, postcards, illustrations, brooms, mops and fire hoses. There is an inquisitiveness about what I do with an object or material. What happens when I cut, wrap, burn, paint, erase, pour, add/subtract, and transform?

  This process is crucial as it opens up so many avenues and dictates the journey the work will take later on. I am often surprised at the results of my labor while in a state of making as often the work will reveal a narrative which has been hidden deep in my psyche. When I have finished my explorations the original objects or material may still be recognizable or not show at all but has played its part in my investigations."

  -Jan Blythe
