The FOG Design+Art fair in San Francisco has named 76 exhibitors for its upcoming 2027 edition, running January 21–24 at the Fort Mason Center for the Arts.
Returning blue-chip exhibitors include David Zwirner, Lisson, Marian Goodman Gallery, Mendes Wood DM, and Hauser & Wirth, the only mega-gallery that currently has a location in the Bay Area. Galleries returning for 2027 after skipping out for 2026 include Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, Commonwealth and Council, and Chris Sharp Gallery, while those coming back after longer hiatuses include White Cube, Sprüth Magers, and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery.
The fair will welcome 13 more exhibitors than last year, increasing its size by around 20 percent. To accommodate the growth, the fair will also revise its layout. In an interview, FOG director Sydney Blumenkranz attributed this increase to the success of last year’s fair, characterizing it as having strong attendance levels, an increase in interest from galleries, “super-high energy,” and strong sales for exhibitors, including works selling for six figures.
“I think the success of the fair last year has a lot to do with the resurgence of interest in San Francisco in general,” she told ARTnews. “There has definitely been this narrative that San Francisco was a bit down and out in the past few years, but that narrative has really turned around.”
And that energy and success have translated to an increase in exhibitor applications by 30 percent over 2026, which itself saw a 20 percent gain in applications over 2025, according to Blumenkranz. Fifteen first-time exhibitors include Thomas Dane Gallery, VeneKlasen, P.P.O.W, Matthew Brown, and Mariposa.
“What we’re seeing in terms of exhibitor interest in FOG is absolutely huge, and it continues to surprise us every year in the best way possible,” Blumenkranz said. “We felt like we had a real duty to FOG and to the arts community here to expand the fair, and that’s exactly what we’re doing this year.”
The expansion will happen at both piers that FOG uses at Fort Mason. The Focus pavilion will expand to the second floor for the first time, while the historic pier will add around seven booths. That change is in part because the FOG Talks program will move from the back of that pier to a dedicated space, the Cowell Theater, which has 437 seats.
By increasing its floor plan and doubling its capacity for the talks program, FOG will also now be able to accommodate more visitors. “We’ve had lines out the door. We’ve had to turn people away, and that’s not what we want,” Blumenkranz said. “We want to be as inclusive as possible, and we want to be able to host as many people as possible.”
The preview gala on the evening of January 20, benefitting the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, will have high-profile honorary chairs: Instagram founder Mike Krieger and his wife Kaitlyn and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and his wife Jennifer.
“The art and design community here in the Bay Area really shows up for FOG, and that is amazing,” Blumenkranz said. “We’d love to reach beyond that community. We’d love to be as accessible as possible to various audiences, and I hope that our honorary chairs can help instill that ethos.”
The growth of FOG comes at an inflection point for San Francisco’s art scene. Longstanding galleries like Altman Siegel and Rena Bransten both closed by the end of 2025. Just before the 2026 edition of FOG, the California College of the Arts announced it would close by 2027 and that it would sell its campus to Vanderbilt University. In July, Vanderbilt announced the former CCA campus would be named after Silicon Valley billionaire Jen-Hsun “Jensen” Huang after a $75 million gift.
“What we’re trying to do at FOG is find the balance between supporting the local arts community but also bringing the international arts community to FOG,” Blumenkranz said. “I think that’s what makes FOG unique and successful: We try to give a platform to our local galleries on the international stage, but then we also try to give a platform to these international blue-chip galleries to our local audience here in San Francisco.”
Historically, the media has reported that blue-chip galleries have had trouble converting the tech industry’s high-net-worth individuals into serious collectors. Blumenkranz rebuffed those claims, characterizing the current depth of collectors being a mix of longtime collectors who have supported FOG for years alongside a newer generation of collectors, some of whom have made their wealth in tech.
“I think San Francisco might be the only city in the world right now that can offer up an entirely new swath of collectors to these blue-chip galleries. Now, I know that’s a bold statement, but there’s truth to it,” she said. “There’s this entirely new group of emerging collectors who are interested in art, want to buy art, and have the capacity to. They are looking for ways to get involved in the art world, and the answer is FOG first and foremost. It’s a gateway to the wider art world for them.”
