I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by the absolute legend of SF radio, John Rothmann 🎙️30 years at KGO. We spoke just after my conversation with @demetribroxton at @theclift hotel, where we looked at how the Bay Area art scene has changed over the last 40 years—and why I still have real faith in its resiliency. John was especially interested in the idea of pop-ups as a path forward for independent artists, galleries, and collectives. @startupartfair is exactly that: the ultimate pop-up for artists. No waiting for permission. No waiting to be called. Run by artists, for artists. Applications for the SF fair are open for just a few more days. Friends and fellow artists: choose you. Application link in bio + link to the talk. #startupartfair #raybeldner #voiceofsf #independentartists

Get to know our 2026 LA fair through the lens of our incredible artists. Each room tells its own story, fostering strong community connection just as much as it celebrates art. Applications for Startup Art Fair San Francisco close March 22. We’d love for you to be part of what’s next 🎨✨🖼️ 🎥 @chaptersbymayad_usa #startupartfair #artistcommunity #artfair #startupartfairla

I’ve been part of the Bay Area art world for a long time—long enough to see it reinvent itself more than once. This Thursday at 6pm, I’ll be sitting down with Demetri Broxton (Executive Director of Root Division) to talk about what’s changed over the last 40 years—and what hasn’t. From the rise (and loss) of artist-run spaces, to shifting institutions, to how artists are building community and sustaining careers today—it should be a really meaningful conversation across generations. Our talk, “Bay Area Art: 40 Years of Change” is part of their “Making History Fun Again” speaker series at the Clift Hotel, 495 Geary St, SF 📍 Redwood Room, Cliff Hotel, San Francisco 🎟 Free + open to the public (RSVP required—link in bio) Hope you can join us! #bayareaarthistory #sanfranciscoart #arttalk #freelecture

I’m in a fantastic group show at Bridgette Mayer Gallery in Philadelphia, titled “Soft Architectures.” It features 17 amazing artists working with paper in all its various forms. It runs through July and is well worth a visit. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturdays 10 AM to 5 PM. One of my pieces in the show is: “Bird by Snow” Collage on panel 46 x 46 in. 2024 #groupexhibition #raybeldner #contemporaryart #worksonpaper philadelphiaart
