Attention fellow art lovers!  There are several upcoming art events to get on your calendar.  Whether you are shopping to fill an empty wall, or just want to browse, here are some events and galleries to know about.  Note that some require advance ticket purchases.

Now through March 28, 2026, at Wessling Gallery in Union Square:  Artist Ali Saif is also a friend, neighbor, and owner of Loggia, one of my favorite furniture showrooms at the SF Design Center.  Several pieces of his abstract artwork will be on display through March 28.

April 17-19, 2026, StartUp Art Fair at Hotel del Sol in the Marina District:  For 3 days only, the rooms of this quirky hotel are converted into temporary gallery spaces where over 80 independent artists will display their work.  Stroll through with your beverage of choice, chat with artists, and take in the scene.

April 16–19, 2026, San Francisco Art Fair at Fort Mason:  Clearly this weekend is a big one for art!  While the StartUp Art Fair represents independent artists, the San Francisco Art Fair represents over 85 galleries from around the world.  If you’re up for an urban hike, the two venues are about a 20 minute walk from each other.  If the weather is nice, take a slightly longer route and walk along Marina Green.  If you want to extend your time at Fort Mason, make a reservation at Greens Restaurant.

May 2-3, 2026, Marin Open Studios at ICB Art in Sausalito:  This community of artists working out of an industrial warehouse in Sausalito invite the public into their studios a few times a year, and the first weekend of May is one of those times.  Study the list of artists ahead of time or just meander and see what you discover.  Either way, it’s a treat to the eyes!
