San Francisco, CA – The Box SF will host its monthly Artists and Makers Fair on September 6-7, offering free public entry to showcase local talent. The event, promoted by owner Mark E. Sackett, provides a platform for artists and makers to exhibit and sell their work at the historic downtown San Francisco venue. Attendees can explore a diverse range of artistic creations over the weekend.
The Box SF, located at 1069 Howard Street, occupies a building that was originally the William Randolph Hearst printing plant, constructed in the 1920s. Today, it serves as a premier event space and an 1850s-style mercantile, preserving a unique blend of history and contemporary culture. The venue aims to foster collaboration among networkers, corporations, speakers, and artists.
These monthly fairs are designed as multi-day weekend events, primarily featuring a Saturday and Sunday art sale with no admission fee for the public. While the core event is a free art sale, some iterations may include ticketed Friday evening "Early Buyers & Meet The Artists Receptions" or Monday evening "Art of Active Networking" events. The initiative supports local artists and provides a community hub for creative exchange.
Mark E. Sackett, the award-winning entrepreneur and owner of The Box SF, is the driving force behind these recurring events. Sackett, who has over 38 years of experience in graphic design and branding, established The Box SF as a collaborative space for various creative and business endeavors. His vision for the venue includes bringing diverse professionals together to share and grow their businesses.
The September 6-7 fair continues The Box SF's tradition of supporting the arts and local commerce within the community. Further details regarding participating artists and any additional associated events can typically be found via Eventbrite or The Box SF's official website. The fair represents an ongoing commitment to cultural engagement and economic support for San Francisco's creative sector.
