Why Fog Design+Art Is a Must-See This January
January 22–25
January in the Bay Area always brings with it a renewed energy—and one of the most anticipated moments of the season is the return of Fog Design+Art, taking place January 22–25. More than an art fair, Fog has become a gathering point for collectors, curators, designers, artists, and art lovers who value thoughtful presentation, strong materiality, and meaningful conversations around art and design.
Fog is known for its carefully curated selection of galleries and designers, offering an experience that feels both intimate and intellectually engaging. Rather than overwhelming visitors, the fair invites you to slow down, look closely, and connect—with the work, with the makers, and with one another.
This is a wonderful opportunity to discover exceptional contemporary art alongside museum-quality design, all under one roof. Whether you’re an established collector, a first-time buyer, or simply curious, Fog offers access to works that span generations, disciplines, and perspectives—often presented with a level of care and context that deepens understanding and appreciation.
Why We Love Fog
What we appreciate most about Fog is its intentionality. Every detail—from the layout of the fair to the selection of exhibitors—feels considered. Fog prioritizes quality over quantity, allowing each gallery and designer the space to present work in a way that feels respectful, nuanced, and deeply engaging.
We also love Fog for the conversations it sparks. The fair creates a natural environment for dialogue—between artists and collectors, between design and fine art, and between established voices and emerging perspectives. It’s a place where learning happens organically and where curiosity is welcomed.
Fog also reflects the spirit of the Bay Area art community: thoughtful, innovative, and grounded in a sense of care. It brings together local, national, and international exhibitors while maintaining an atmosphere that feels approachable and human. That balance is rare—and it’s one of the reasons Fog continues to resonate year after year.
Beyond the booths themselves, Fog is a place where relationships are strengthened and inspiration flows freely. Many visitors return not only to see what’s new, but to reconnect with the community that makes this region’s art and design landscape so vibrant.
If you’re looking to begin the year feeling inspired, grounded, and energized by creativity, Fog Design+Art (January 22–25) is well worth your time. Mark your calendar, bring your curiosity, and allow yourself to be immersed in one of the most refined and rewarding art fair experiences of the season.
We hope to see you there.
