Art Fair: Open Invitational San Francisco – SF Art Week 2026

NIAD Art Center is proud to participate in the inaugural edition of Open Invitational San Francisco, an art fair exclusively for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Happening January 23-25 during SF Art Week, it offers a platform for NIAD artists to be seen alongside other contemporary artists by curators, collectors, critics, and the broader arts community. The fair is hosted by our sister studio, Creativity Explored, and made possible thanks to the generous support of the Svane Family Foundation. 

NIAD’s presentation focuses on three artists: Saul Alegria, Julio Del Rio, and Dorian Reid. We will have additional works on paper by a range of artists in the NIAD studio on offer—including works not on our website—so we encourage you to stop by and visit us!
