SF’s Unique “Startup Art Fair” Takeover of an Entire 1950s Motor Lodge (April 18-20)
Startup is pleased to announce that the colorful art weekend is returning to San Francisco with renewed energy and purpose.
Over the April 18-20, 2025 weekend, Startup Art Fair returns to the fun and funky Hotel Del Sol, the iconic 1950s motor lodge in the beautiful Marina District adjacent to the Bay, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Startup will run concurrently with the prestigious San Francisco Art Fair at Fort Mason, which is within walking distance of the del Sol. According to Startup Director Ray Beldner, “By aligning with SF Fair, a cornerstone of the Bay Area art scene since 2011, we’re participating in what promises to be an extraordinary weekend of art discovery in San Francisco where tens of thousands of visitors will be coming to discover and buy art.”

After a five-year hiatus, Startup Art Fair returns with a profound conviction: now, more than ever, we need artists to help guide our culture. In times of political division and complexity, artists offer unique perspectives, challenge our perceptions, and illuminate the human experience in ways that transcend traditional discourse. They are essential storytellers, cultural innovators, and critical thinkers who help us understand ourselves and our world more deeply.
Created for artists, by artists, Startup Art Fair is a unique platform where independent talents take control of their careers and connect directly with collectors, curators, and art professionals in an intimate and happening boutique hotel setting.
Startup Art Fair is a destination event, attracting artists, art industry leaders, and art collectors from across the U.S. and as far away as Mexico, China, Europe, and South America. The fair’s unwavering mission to support creative and professional success for independent artists makes Startup a beacon for starting and seasoned collectors who seek out unique experiences and innovative brands.
