Home to performance venues, art galleries, an emerging technologies workshop, an exhibition kitchen and cafe, and a nine studio artist in residency program, The Midway is a new space for San Francisco's most celebrated creative outlets to collide.

Two Fairs in One!
Running concurrently with stARTup Small Works is the SF Art Book Fair, an annual festival of artists' publications featuring artists’ books, art catalogs, monographs, periodicals, zines, printed ephemera, and artists' multiples. The SF Art Book Fair is held at nearby Minnesota Street Project, 1275 Minnesota Street in the Dogpatch District.
Dogpatch is a vibrant, growing neighborhood nestled between Potrero Hill and the Bay. Formerly a shipbuilding hub dating back to the 1800s, this dockside area retains an industrial vibe with large warehouses, many of which have been updated into residential lofts, art galleries and trendy shops. Third Street offers a mix of restaurants, brunch cafes, brew pubs and wine bars, plus the Museum of Craft and Design.
