The Sculpture Objects Functional Art and Design (SOFA) Fair in Chicago is the premier gallery-presented fair dedicated to three-dimensional art, and design. In 2015 the Fair expanded to include painting, photography, and works on paper. Critically acclaimed and continuously running since 1994, what distinguishes SOFA from other top art events is its focus on three-dimensional artworks that cross the boundaries of fine and decorative art and design, and their juxtaposition with two-dimensional work. On par with Art Basel and TEFAF Maastricht, SOFA is produced by Urban Expositions and noted for its exceptional presentation, with an elite selection of international dealers presenting for sale museum-quality masterworks in custom designed gallery installations. With a strong educational emphasis, SOFA CHICAGO programming includes an acclaimed Lecture Series and Special Exhibits exploring the artworks on view and surveying new trends in the art world. A VIP program includes exclusive events tailored to high-profile gallery clients and collector/ museum groups. SOFA has evolved into a dynamic international marketplace and community – a confluence of perspectives where art, design and people intersect.
