The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) Artists Gallery will hold its annual Artists Warehouse Sale from Wednesday, April 25, through Sunday, April 29, 2007, at San Francisco’s Fort Mason Center, Building A. The benefit is one of the Bay Area’s most anticipated annual art events, and this year’s sale promises to be bigger and better than ever. In addition to offering an array of paintings, photographs, and sculptures in the main space, the gallery will open an adjacent space dedicated to prints and works on paper. All artworks are 50 percent off regular retail price. Sale proceeds benefit the programs of the SFMOMA Artists Gallery, which supports both the Museum and regional artists. This event is free and open to the public.
The sale begins with a grand opening reception on Wednesday, April 25, from 6 to 9 p.m., featuring complimentary wine and live music by the all-female Cajun band the Creole Belles. The sale closes with live jazz in the final afternoon by the Roger Tuan Ensemble. During the week of the sale, the gallery will offer special extended hours:
