The Parking Lot Art Fair is pleased to announce its inaugural event, taking place in a parking lot in San Francisco on Saturday, May 2nd from 6 AM to 1 PM. On this Saturday morning over 100 artists will converge on a parking lot in San Francisco, not far from the stART Up Art Fair and Art Market, and set up their own independent projects to form the Parking Lot Art Fair. The Parking Lot Art Fair is a renegade, DIY, artist-driven fair/happening. This fair will ask for no entrance fee for participants or patrons, and take no percentage of artist profits. The location of this art fair will be announced the evening before the fair through Parking Lot Art Fair’s social media channels. San Francisco has a history of attracting critical and diverse voices, and the Parking Lot Art Fair celebrates this spirit by providing artists a platform to exhibit their work to a wide audience of morning joggers, avid fair goers, and public space users. This fair will provide a space for diverse artistic practices, from tailgating performances to white cube exhibition spaces, the Parking Lot Art Fair presents a democratic platform for any and all artists of San Francisco. Parking Lot Art Fair’s organizers and participants believe that the event will provide a much needed counterpoint to the other art fairs of the Bay Area, one that is more in line with the artists’ practices. This is not a market driven event and is a true experiment of what can be done with zero budget and a group of talented creatives. We hope you will join the fun! Events on Saturday, May 2: 6 AM- Fair opening 11 AM- Panel Discussion with Glen Helfand, John Zarobell, and others to be announced. 1 PM- Wrap up and Guided Tour to other art fairs For more information, and to participate as an artist please visit www.facebook.com/ParkingLotArtFair, parkinglotartfair.tumblr.com/, or email parkinglotartfair@gmail.com
