Arts of Pacific Asia Show
On the waterfront in San Francisco's historic Fort Mason Center, the San Francisco Arts of Pacific Asia Show brings more than 10,000 antiques, textiles and art from Pacific Asia to the West Coast. This event, the oldest and largest vetted fair in the US brings together Asian art specialists from Asia, Europe and North America. Spanning more than 2000 years of Asian arts and culture, the fair is the most respected by collectors. The Opening Night Benefit for the Asian Art Museum is a hallmark on the San Francisco social calendar, drawing a high-profile audience of museum and arts professionals and arts enthusiasts. In 2012 the Arts of Pacific Asia show will debut a Contemporary Asian Art Initiative. Juxtaposing the historic with the contemporary, galleries will present some of their most dynamic works, showcasing both emerging and established artists. The Initiative spotlights the growing contributions of Asian artists to the Contemporary Art scene, providing an accessible and sophisticated environment for collectors to discover new artists and galleries.
