| The San Francisco Art Dealers Association (SFADA) is pleased br>
to announce the br>
launch of First Saturday. Beginning January 7, 2012, various br>
SFADA member br>
galleries will present special opportunities to learn more br>
about their featured br>
artists on the first Saturday of each br>
month. "First Saturday allows gallery br>
patrons and art enthusiasts the chance to enjoy intimate and br>
informative br>
gatherings as an alternative to the more social First br>
Thursdays," says SFADA br>
President, Trish Bransten of Rena Bransten Gallery. Events br>
will range from br>
artist talks and tours to opening receptions and book br>
signings featuring both br>
emerging and internationally known artists and their work. br>
br>
First Saturday occurs in addition to First Thursday, the br>
long-standing br>
downtown evening tradition initiated by SFADA in 1993. The br>
broader SFADA br>
membership, including galleries in Oakland and San br>
Francisco's Mission br>
District, will selectively participate in First Saturday. br>
Participating galleries will br>
change monthly. To view a current list of First Saturday br>
events and br>

Saturday tab in the br>
