Last Supper & SFIAF Holiday Parties

In-tandem with our regularly scheduled Last Supper Party on Saturday December 3 (featuring Georgina Marie Guardado and Mia Ruiz), SFIAF will use its traditional annual holiday party to announce the line-up for the 2023 Festival that will open in San Francisco's Mission District on June 8.

This will be our first full SFIAF since the pandemic lock down and the 20th anniversary since the inaugural Festival way back in 2003.

We invite the Festival community to visit us at our Polk Gulch hideaway to meet the above pictured artists who will be featured in the 2023 Program. Join the party, find out more about their upcoming Festival Projects and raise a glass in celebration of the holiday season.
