SF Camerawork: Live Benefit Auction 2023

SF Camerawork’s (SFC) always anticipated Benefit Art Auction returns this year to in person festivities at its new home on San Francisco’s waterfront, with a preview exhibition in its gallery, a live auction and celebration, and the opportunity for collectors across the globe to bid online with ARTSY. This year’s auction features the work of over 50 critically-acclaimed photographic artists both local and international, including Wesaam Al-Badry, John Chiara, Janet Delanay, Terri Loewenthal, and Chris McCaw among many others.

This is its most important fundraiser of the year.
