As the San Francisco Bay Area’s longest-running art fair, San Francisco Art Fair affirms the vibrancy and resiliency of the region’s arts ecosystem. In 2025, it continues its dedication to the region’s cultural institutions, galleries, artists, and collectors through presentations from close to 90 local, national, and international galleries alongside important region-wide collaborations with new and longstanding partners. Notably, this includes a special curated section focused on uplifting East Bay artists and galleries, along with a public project organized by storied San Francisco non-profit Creativity Explored.

The 2025 edition features galleries from across the Bay Area, including notable first-time participants such as Jessica Silverman (San Francisco), who showcases works by prominent local artists Clare Rojas and Chelsea Ryoko Wong; Anthony Meier (Mill Valley, CA), who exhibits paintings by Pacifica, CA-based Saif Azzuz and wood sculptures by San Francisco-based Jesse Schlesinger; MADSEN (Los Altos, CA); and Micki Meng (San Francisco), whose program has received global recognition since its 2021 launch.

Affirming the success of previous editions of San Francisco Art Fair, many participants return in 2025. Locally, these include San Francisco’s Altman Siegel, Andrea Schwartz Gallery, Catharine Clark Gallery, Eleanor Harwood Gallery, Hang Art Gallery, K. Imperial Fine Art, Marrow Gallery, Maybaum Gallery, Nancy Toomey Fine Art, Scott Richards Contemporary Art, and Stephanie Breitbard Fine Arts; Palo Alto, CA’s Pamela Walsh Gallery; Oakland, CA’s Johansson Projects and pt.2 Gallery, whose founder, Brock Brake, curates a special section of the fair focused on the vibrancy of the East Bay arts community. Also returning from San Francisco is Studio Shop Gallery, one of California’s oldest art galleries, which celebrates their 110th anniversary in 2025.

The fair also continues to offer a unique microcosm of the American West, with strong representation across Southern California (Billis Williams Gallery, Los Angeles), Washington (Winston Wächter Fine Art, Seattle), Oregon (after/time, Portland), and Arizona (Ocotillo Gallery, Phoenix). Notably, multiple Pacific Northwest galleries, who have found success at Seattle Art Fair, also run by Art Market Productions, debut at San Francisco Art Fair in 2025. Other notable galleries returning from across the U.S. include New Orleans’ FERRARA SHOWMAN GALLERY and St. Louis’ Duane Reed Gallery.

The fair’s reach also extends internationally to Canada (Liss Gallery and The Local Gallery, Toronto; SSEW Project, Markham; and Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art, Calgary), England (Secteur Privé, London), France (Sobering Galerie, Paris), Germany (coGalerie, Berlin), and South Korea (Gallery Playlist, Busan).

The 13th edition of San Francisco Art Fair arrives at a pivotal moment, emphasizing the necessity of fostering the arts through diverse, accessible platforms both locally and nationally. Overarchingly, the fair aims to be an inclusive platform that celebrates the Bay Area’s strong community of artists, galleries, institutions, and collectors, while further positioning the region’s influence on a national and international scale.

Under the leadership of Fair Director Kelly Freeman, San Francisco Art Fair’s gallery presentations, extensive public programming, and creative partnerships continue to establish San Francisco as an important meeting point for contemporary art on the West Coast and beyond. Programming is further supported by San Francisco Art Fair’s Artistic Director Nato Thompson.
