We are excited to announce our upcoming exhibit “Bay Area Made: Small Batch & Made to Order” hosted by member company Arion Press for San Francisco Design Week! This will be an in-person exhibit showcasing the high quality, innovative, and locally made work of 50 of the finest local makers across industries and the region from our broad and diverse Bay Area Made member community.
The focus of the exhibit is to highlight the benefits of small-batch and made-to-order production, and the conscious choices the participating companies have made from concept to finished product that result in products that are better for the user, the community, and the planet. From the clothes we wear to the food we eat, to the products we use daily, what WE MAKE locally and HOW WE MAKE IT really does matter.
