stARTup Art Fair San Francisco is a contemporary art fair for independent artists.

Our three-day fair is April 24-26, 2020 at the fun and colorful Hotel del Sol, within walking distance to the nearby SF Art Market gallery fair. Exhibiting artists will have a unique opportunity to expose new work to a myriad of collectors, curators, gallerists, art consultants, and writers who will be coming to the city for a weekend of contemporary art.

The core mission of stARTup Art Fair is to provide a marketplace that gives artists the power to present and sell work on their own terms.

Deadline to apply is February 9, 2020. Those selected from the open application process will each take over a hotel room for the course of three days to present a solo show of their work. Applicants will have their work reviewed by an impressive Selection Committee of art world professionals:

Andrew Rafacz, Owner Director, Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Chicago
Michelle Nye, Director, SFMOMA Artists Gallery, San Francisco
René de Guzman, Senior Curator of Art, Oakland Museum of California
Danielle Fox, Owner/Director, Slate Contemporary Gallery, Oakland
