SF Camerawork: Silent 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.

Over the span of its 49 year history, SF Camerawork has been a vital arts organization, promoting contemporary photography, and acting as a launching pad for many artists’ careers by supplying financial support, exhibition space, curation, and patronage. This is its most important fundraiser of the year.

Bidding for this auction will take place exclusively on Artsy and will begin to close on Monday, October 2, 2023 at 9:00am PDT (12:00pm EDT).
