san francisco art week guide 2738593

San Francisco Art Week is underway, anchored by the 12th edition of FOG Design and Art (January 21–25) on a historic former Army base. The event arrives amid flux for Northern California's art scene, with several prominent galleries closing and two major art schools—the San Francisco Art Institute and the California College of the Arts—recently shuttering. However, new free-admission fairs Atrium and Skylight Above (both January 22–25) signal fresh energy. The article highlights must-see museum shows across the city, including "Lee ShinJa: Drawing with Thread" at BAMPFA, "Rose B. Simpson: Lexicon" at the de Young Museum, "Rising Tides" at the Floating Art Museum, and "Earthseed Dome: Lily Kwong" at the Institute of Contemporary Art, San Francisco.

An Exhibition of Silenced Artists Sends a Warning in New York City

An exhibition titled "Don’t Look Now: A Defense of Free Expression" has opened at Nathalie Karg Gallery in New York City, organized by the nonprofit Art at a Time Like This and co-founded by curator Barbara Pollack. The show features artworks by artists who have experienced censorship, including Danielle SeeWalker’s painting "G is for Genocide" (2024), which led to the revocation of her artist residency in Vail, Colorado, and Andil Gosine’s altered photograph "Magna Carta" (2025), which was removed from a planned exhibition at the Art Museum of the Americas. The works address suppression linked to President Trump’s crackdown on DEI, anti-Palestine sentiment, and other forms of censorship, with some institutions self-censoring due to funding cuts from entities like the National Endowment for the Arts.

San Francisco museum rejects permanent space in favour of site-specific exhibitions

The Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF) has abandoned plans for a permanent physical space, instead adopting a nomadic model focused on site-specific exhibitions. Its first project under this new approach launches during San Francisco Art Week at the Transamerica Pyramid Center, featuring installations by artists Lily Kwong and Tara Donovan. Kwong's EARTHSEED DOME is a 3D-printed soil structure embedded with native seeds that will bloom in the adjacent redwood grove, while Donovan's Stratagem series uses recycled CDs to create light-scattering columns inside the building's Annex Gallery.

An exhibition in New York City takes on censorship in the art world

Art at a Time Like This, a non-profit organization, has opened the exhibition 'Don’t Look Now' in New York City's Nolita neighborhood (October 10–25), featuring 24 contemporary artists whose work has been censored or blacklisted. Participants include Marilyn Minter, Shepard Fairey, Dread Scott, Danielle SeeWalker, and Yvonne Iten-Scott, whose pieces were removed from shows, rescinded from residencies, or targeted by officials due to political content. The exhibition responds to the Trump administration's crackdown on free speech in the culture sector, including mass layoffs at the NEA and NEH, proposed funding cuts, and canceled shows at institutions like the Smithsonian.

Artist reaches settlement with US city that cancelled her residency over a pro-Palestine message

Danielle SeeWalker, a Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟótaits artist, reached a settlement with the town of Vail, Colorado, after her art residency and mural commission were cancelled in 2024 over an Instagram post supporting Palestine. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Colorado and law firm Newman McNulty filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in October 2024, citing free speech violations. The settlement includes annual cultural sensitivity training for Vail’s Arts in Public Places employees, an annual powwow organized by SeeWalker, a community forum on Israel and Palestine, a new art program for underrepresented groups, and a confidential payment. SeeWalker’s painting *G for Genocide* (2024) will be exhibited at Art at a Time Like This’s pop-up space in New York City this autumn.
