“FOG Design+Art has always been about celebrating our creative community and fostering connections within the art and design world,” said Sydney Blumenkranz, Director of FOG Design+Art. “I am honored to take on this role and look forward to finding new and impactful ways to push the fair in new directions, and to find more opportunities for engagement with the arts community regionally and around the world.”Visitors to this year’s fair will be greeted by FOG MRKT, a curated installation showcasing artisanal products and crafts with an emphasis on the Bay Area. MRKT will feature hand-crafted one-of-a-kind items, including a selection designed specifically for FOG. This year’s fair also sees the return of FOG FOCUS, a dedicated pavilion designed to showcase art by young and underrepresented artists, and which offers entry at a lower price point. In addition, the fair will once again present FOG Talks, a programming series that explores ideas and issues relevant to the fields of art, design, technology, and our contemporary world. The programming is curated by steering committee member Susan Swig, and all talks are included with fair admission. The 2025 edition of FOG Talks will be announced in December.
