SMOMA Sweet 16
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) Artists Gallery will hold its annual Artists’ Warehouse Sale from May 6, through May 10 at San Francisco’s Fort Mason Center, Building A. An annual tradition since 1993, the Artists’ Warehouse Sale is one of the Bay Area’s most anticipated art events. Popular with both new and seasoned collectors, the five-day sale features paintings, photographs, sculptures, prints, and works on paper at 50% off regular retail price. Sale proceeds benefit the programs of the SFMOMA Artists Gallery, which supports both the Museum and regional artists.
With affordable, original art priced from $50-$5,000 visitors can purchase paintings, sculpture, drawings, and unframed works on paper by more than 300 emerging and established Bay Area artists.
The multi-day event begins Wednesday, May 6 at 6 p.m. with a special preview reception to give eager buyers first chance at the deals. On Friday, May 8 from 6-8 p.m. artists Bert Bergen, Tim Svenonius, and Charles Valoroso create fantastical drawings from sympathetic monsters and prehistoric animals, to patriotic emblems, as part of the Gallery’s new live drawing event. These one-of-a-kind drawings will be offered for sale at very affordable prices.
On Saturday, May 9 from 2-4 p.m., the Gallery is hosting its first ever Meet the Designer event featuring award-winning designer Gary Hutton. Sunday, May 10 is the Artists Gallery Family Day featuring children’s activities, face painting, and live music. The Alphabet Rockers will perform educational songs with a hip-hop beat from 1-1:45 p.m. Each year the Artists Gallery selects an artist to create an original work for the event poster and invitation. This year’s artist is John Yoyogi Fortes. His painting, Sweet 16 will be auctioned off at the event.
