San Francisco’s Fog Design+Art fair has announced that its tenth edition will include an invitational platform, Fog Focus, designed to bring much needed attention to young and underrepresented artists.
Fog Focus will present nine artists in solo booths in Fort Mason Center’s Pier 2 building, which was once the home to the San Francisco Arts Institute. In keeping with the spirit of supporting artists who perhaps have not yet garnered the reputation they deserve, exhibition space for Fog Focus is offered at a lower price point that the Fog Design+Art. The inaugural participants include the Parisian gallery Crèvecœur, George Adams Gallery from New York, and several San Francisco and Los Angeles dealers including CULT Aimee Friberg Exhibitions, Jonathan Carver Moore, and Commonwealth and Council.
