The San Francisco Fine Art Fair (SFFAF) returns in 2011 as one of the highlights in the Bay Area for contemporary art. In 2010, a rousing 15,000 art enthusiasts lined up and streamed through the fair- after a decade long absence. There was a bursting energy in the air and contagious enthusiasm as attendees were stunned by the museum quality art displayed by the 83 exhibiting galleries. In fact, the spectacular opening night generated 3,000 eager visitors, many of whom were the who's who of the northern California art buying community.

With such a robust turnout of art enthusiasts exploring the sold-out floor, SFFAF established itself as the top new fair in America in 2010. Attendees welcomed its return and showed their appreciation by purchasing over $5 million in art. The 2010 successful production of the fair, in the eyes of gallerists, collectors and the national art press, help to reclaim the city’s stature as one of the most important art marketplaces in the nation.
