The San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) is gearing up for the holiday season by encouraging residents to shop local and support local artists. During a recent meeting, it was announced that SFAC will host an art vendor pop-up market at the War Memorial Building lobby on December 14, 2023, from 11 AM to 5 PM. This event aims to provide a platform for local artists and crafts makers, allowing attendees to purchase unique gifts for themselves or loved ones.

The market will take place at the War Memorial Veterans Building, located at 401 Van Ness Avenue, conveniently situated across from the SFAC offices. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote local art and culture during the festive season.

In addition to the vendor market, Commissioner Sciota highlighted upcoming city events, including light shows and downtown activations, which are designed to enhance the holiday atmosphere in San Francisco. The city is also planning various festive activities, such as the return of popular attractions in Union Square.

Furthermore, Commissioner Belcher shared that students from San Francisco State University have launched their latest exhibition, marking a significant milestone for the creative community.

Overall, these initiatives reflect the city's commitment to supporting local artists and fostering community engagement during the holiday season. Residents are encouraged to participate in these events to celebrate and uplift local talent.
