Weโre leaving this yearโs San Francisco Art Fair with full hearts and deep gratitude.
It was a true joy to bring the Djerassi Resident Artists Program into the fair and to share something of the spirit of the residency with so many familiar and new faces. Our presentation, Where Art Originates, curated by our Creative Director Mushi Wooseong James, offered a reflection on the conditions that make artistic practice possible: time, space, experimentation, and the freedom to follow an idea wherever it may lead.
At our booth, we were honored to feature works by David Nash, John Roloff, Barbara Nerness, Lauren DiCioccio, Robert Buelteman, Ruth Charlotte Kneass, and Amber Jean Young, alongside a reading library with books by Djerassi resident writers including Viet Thanh Nguyen, Sigrid Nunez, Tatsiana Zamirovskaya, and Sarah M. Broom.
We were also sincerely grateful to take part in the panel Professionalizing Your Network: Artist Residencies in the Bay, alongside moderator Christine Wang and fellow panelists Kelly Sicat, Louisa Gloger, Jonathan Carver Moore, and Matthew McTire. It was a thoughtful and generous conversation, and meaningful to be in dialogue with others who care so deeply about how artists are supported through opportunity, access, exchange, and community.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, spent time with the work, shared conversation, and helped make the space feel so alive. Weโre deeply thankful to the San Francisco Art Fair for the opportunity, and to the artists, supporters, and friends of Djerassi who continue to believe in the value of artistic process, creative risk, and the spaces that allow art to begin.
