Secession Art & Design Blog

Secession Art & Design's SF Pop-up is next week! This curation has been a labor of love connecting with 18 artists to create a playful collection that is dreamy and visually stunning. Come find that special piece to get lost in. This weekend you can hop over to our virtual gallery and purchase your favorites before we open our doors August 24-27 at 307 Cortland.

I have been spending the summer doing what I love: being a mama, curating art from 16 artists, and planning Secession Art & Design's 16th Anniversary SF Pop-Up for August 24-27 at 307 Cortland. Behind the scenes, our goal was to put this dream curation up early, so you as a collector could have a chance to see it even if you'll be away during the pop-up at the end of the month. I'm so excited that these 80 beautiful pieces are available and ready to turn your home or office into an artful oasis.

Olena McMurtrey painted two new oceanscapes in resin for our 16th Anniversary Pop-Up to bring the movement of waves into your home. Olena is inspired by the breaks and patterns in the water as it moves along its path. So many shades of blue reflecting, foam and bubbles dynamically forming. Painting in epoxy on this scale gives her a sense of discovery and wonder about the unexpected waves crashing onto the sand.

So many of my most memorable moments include gazing at a beautiful sunset, exploring cloud formations, or watching the horizon on the ocean. My quest is to find art that brings the outdoors into my art collector's abode.

Hello fabulous friends, family, and collectors, I am planning an August SF Pop-Up and need your support with a fundraiser that will go towards the production of this event. By donating between $100 and $1000, you will help contribute to the venue rental, as well as us hiring a trusted team to build the virtual gallery, hang an abundance of art, and staff the event.
