MCD is proud to be a Cultural Partner with Startup Art Fair San Francisco, which returns April 17–19, 2026, to the vibrant Hotel del Sol in the Marina.

Startup SF takes place during a prime art week in San Francisco, running concurrently with the San Francisco Art Fair at Fort Mason, a mere 10-minute walk away. Make a weekend of it in the Marina, discover new work, and connect with the Bay Area’s creative community!

This boutique format lets visitors meet artists directly, see new work up close, and engage in meaningful conversations. This year’s ambitious line-up brings together 80+ independent artists from across the United States and Asia.

Startup Art Fair is an artist-centered art fair where participating artists transform hotel rooms into immersive exhibition spaces — intimate, imaginative, and full of discovery.

The conversation traced a wide historical arc, from the earliest forms of image-making to contemporary feminist practices. It was especially meaningful to share this dialogue with an audience of artists and thinkers shaping the cultural life of the Bay Area.

Special thanks to pioneering video artist Beryl Korot and visual artist and filmmaker Sabrina Gschwandtner, and to “Video Craft” co-curator Ariel Zaccheo for moderating the talk.
