Get Ready for 2025 FOG Design+Art
Author:Lindsey ShookBeginning January 22, art and design enthusiasts from around the globe will flock to San Francisco for the annual FOG Design+Art fair. Located inside Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, the fair has rapidly gained notoriety as one of the most pioneering fairs due to the highly-curated blend of international art galleries; prominent 20th-century and contemporary design dealers; and dynamic programming.

The fair will open with a Preview Gala on January 22 benefiting the SFMOMA’s education and exhibition programs. This year’s honorary chairs are Evans Hankey + Brook Lane and Jim Abrams + Mario Russo, Bay Area community leaders and devoted FOG supporters.
The fair is excited to introduce 15 first-time galleries participants including: Galerie Maria Wettergren (Paris), Herald St (London), Kiang Malingue (Hong Kong), Lisson Gallery (London), Peter Blum Gallery (New York), SIDE GALLERY (Barcelona), Southern Guild (Los Angeles), and Venus Over Manhattan (New York) in Pier 3, Charles Moffett Gallery (New York), Chris Sharp Gallery (Los Angeles), Fernberger (Los Angeles), François Ghebaly (Los Angeles), House of Seiko (San Francisco), Municipal Bonds (San Francisco), and Superhouse (New York) in FOG FOCUS.

This year’s fair welcomes incoming inaugural fair director Sydney Blumenkranz who formerly led the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s (SFMOMA) events team for nearly six years, while formerly holding roles at Christie’s and Pace Gallery, as well as her contributions to FOG while at SFMOMA. “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. “I am honored to take on this role and look forward to finding new and impactful ways to push the fair in new directions, and to find more opportunities for engagement with the arts community regionally and around the world.”
Visitors will be able to take a piece of the fair home when shopping at the FOG MRKT that will feature exclusive items crafted by Bay Area artists and designers. The FOG FOCUS pavilion that showcases art by young and emerging artists also returns, offers entry level price points. In addition, the fair will once again present FOG Talks, a programming series that explores ideas and issues relevant to the fields of art, design, technology, and our contemporary world. The programming is curated by steering committee member Susan Swig, and all talks are included with fair admission. Visit the OFFICIAL site for more information and to purchase tickets now.
