ABOUT STARTUP

Since 2015, Startup Curatorial and Startup Art Fair has been dedicated to connecting art lovers to exciting artists from across the country. Startup streamlines the process of buying art by connecting individuals, interior designers, art consultants, and businesses to our expert curatorial team and our highly skilled group of artists working in all media, including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

After a pause in 2020, Startup Art Fair is finally returning to San Francisco with renewed energy and purpose! The fair returns with over 60 artists to the fun and funky Hotel Del Sol, the iconic 1950s motor lodge in the beautiful Marina District adjacent to the Bay, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Startup will run concurrently with the prestigious San Francisco Art Fair at Fort Mason, which is within walking distance of the del Sol. By aligning with the SF Art Fair, a cornerstone of the Bay Area art scene since 2011, we’re participating in what promises to be an extraordinary weekend of art discovery in San Francisco where tens of thousands of visitors will be coming to discover and buy art.

Created for artists, by artists, Startup Art Fair is a unique platform where independent talents take control of their careers and connect directly with collectors, curators, and art professionals in an intimate boutique hotel setting.

The event includes fresh, healthy, innovative foods, signature cocktails, and exclusive wine tastings.
