The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) Artists Gallery will hold its annual Artists’ Warehouse Sale May 6-10, at Fort Mason Center. An annual tradition since 1993, the event features paintings, photographs, sculptures, prints, and works on paper at 50% off regular retail price. Sale proceeds benefit the programs of the SFMOMA Artists Gallery, which supports both the Museum and regional artists. Original art priced from $50 to $5,000 created by more than 300 emerging and established artists, like Mark Jaremko, Kara Maria, Terry Thompson, Katherine Westerhout, Heather Wilcoxon, Jason Winshell, and many more. On May 6 at 6 p.m. a special preview reception is ticketed $10. May 7 - 10 admission is free. On May 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. artists Bert Bergen, Tim Svenonius, and Charles Valoroso create fantastical drawings as part of the Gallery’s new live drawing event. These one-of-a-kind drawings will be offered for sale at very affordable prices. On May 9 from 2 to 4 p.m., the Gallery is hosting its first ever Meet the Designer event featuring award-winning designer Gary Hutton. The designer will be on hand to talk about marrying original art with his unique designs. May 10 is the Artists Gallery Family Day featuring children’s activities, face painting, and live music. The Alphabet Rockers will perform educational songs with a hip-hop beat from 1 to 1:45 p.m. In addition, each year the Artists Gallery selects an artist to create an original work to don the event poster and invitation. This year’s artist is John Yoyogi Fortes. His painting, Sweet 16 will be auctioned off at the event. Representing Northern California artists, the SFMOMA Artists Gallery offers a diverse selection of original artwork for sale and rent. Visit www.sfmoma.org or call 415.441.4777.
