The Bay Area offers a unique context in which innovative contemporary
artists can create artwork away from the pressures inherent to the
larger art markets. According to a recent Art in America article on
the Bay Area art scene, "Though San Francisco will probably always
serve as a testing ground and jumping off point for many artists, its
intrinsically nourishing character ensures a support system for those
who stay." If that is in fact the case, why do so many artists, as
well as art professionals and collectors, feel that it's necessary
for artist to leave the Bay Area in order to establish themselves as
"major" artists?
