Nine days, two piers, one waterfront campus
San Francisco Art Week runs its fourth edition from Saturday 16 January to Sunday 24 January 2027. That is nine calendar days. FOG Design+Art occupies the last four of them, Thursday 21 January to Sunday 24 January, at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture on Piers 2 and 3.
The art week site carries a participant list, a map, a program and a neighborhood guide. Its participants page reads that the 2027 participants will be announced in late fall 2026. Its special events page still lists fall events from its 2026 participants, and the program path returns the site’s not-found page.
The art week quotes the San Francisco Chronicle’s arts and culture writer Tony Bravo, who called the third week of January an unofficial art week in the city.
Two pavilions, and the piers the 2027 pages print
The fair splits into two pavilions. The 2027 release counts 50 exhibitors in the FOG Pavilion and 26 curated presentations in FOG FOCUS, more than 75 galleries in all. Fifteen of those galleries show at FOG for the first time.
Every 2027 page prints the venue as Piers 2 and 3. Those pages name no pier for either pavilion. The 2026 exhibitor release grouped its own lists under FOG Design+Art, Pier 3 and FOG FOCUS, Pier 2.
The live exhibitors page renders 47 cards under the FOG Pavilion heading and 25 under FOG FOCUS.
Four days, and a Sunday that closes two hours early
Thursday 21, Friday 22 and Saturday 23 January run 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday 24 January runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. That is eight hours on each of the first three days and six on the closing day.
Admission covers both pavilions and access to FOG Talks.
FOG Talks move into the Cowell Theater
FOG Talks run the same four days, Thursday 21 to Sunday 24 January, presented by Bank of America. The series moves to the Cowell Theater, which sits within FOG FOCUS. Steering committee member Susan Swig organizes it. The 2027 lineup posts in mid-November.
The second storey of FOG FOCUS is new for 2027. It carries a lounge and a full-service dining room by A16. Several non-profit galleries join the section with support from Bloomberg. The edition’s honorary chairs are Kaitlyn and Mike Krieger and Jennifer and Joe Montana.

Booking nine nights around the fair
Saturday 16 January arrival to a Monday 25 January checkout is nine nights. The city-wide basis on Engine is $165 a night across 3.1 million public rate observations from May 2024 to April 2026. January sits at $166, one percent above the city figure.
Nine nights at the January figure is $1,494. The same nine nights carry about $8,100 in citywide spending per visitor on the Oxford Economics line of about $900 a room night.
Engine defines its figures as par rates, the cheapest publicly available price at the time of each search, and not negotiated or booked rates.
The Moscone Center’s own feed carries the ASCO GI Cancers Symposium at Moscone West from Thursday 21 to Saturday 23 January. Those dates overlap the fair’s first three days. The same feed carries SPIE Photonics West from Saturday 30 January to Thursday 4 February.
What the two sites leave unpublished
Neither the fair nor the art week names a hotel partner, a room block, a group code or a nightly rate. Fort Mason Center publishes 1.5 million annual visitors and nearly two dozen resident non-profit and arts organizations. The campus address is 2 Marina Boulevard at Buchanan Street, and its box office number is (415) 345-7575. The fair’s own contact line is 415.598.1437.
The fair publishes no attendance figure for the fair. The art week’s participants page carries no 2027 list.
