SFADA Launches First Saturday
The San Francisco Art Dealers Association (SFADA) is pleased to announce the launch of First Saturday. Beginning January 7, 2012, various SFADA member galleries will present special opportunities to learn more about their featured artists on the first Saturday of each month. "First Saturday allows gallery patrons and art enthusiasts the chance to enjoy intimate and informative gatherings as an alternative to the more social First Thursdays," says SFADA President, Trish Bransten of Rena Bransten Gallery. Events will range from artist talks and tours to opening receptions and book signings featuring both emerging and internationally known artists and their work.

First Saturday occurs in addition to First Thursday, the long-standing downtown evening tradition initiated by SFADA in 1993. The broader SFADA membership, including galleries in Oakland and San Francisco's Mission District, will selectively participate in First Saturday. Participating galleries will change monthly.
