AFTER LAST YEAR’S PANDEMIC-INSPIRED HIATUS, FOG Design + Art at Fort Mason roared back to life as a benefit for educational programs at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. New blood is joining the old guard, from opening night cochairs Wayee Chu, a philanthropist, and Ethan Beard, former Facebook and Google exec, to patrons such as Instagram CoFounder Mike Krieger and his wife, Kaitlyn, and Komal Shah and her husband, Silicon Valley venture capitalist Gaurav Garg. Guests browsed 45 galleries, wowed by a variety of art that ranged from a house made of wooden letters to a silk-screened ping-pong table that guests were allowed to play on. AT&T’s Ken McNeely especially appreciated the works of social realism by fellow North Carolinian Romare Bearden. “After two years of near cultural isolation,” McNeely said, “I couldn’t think of a better way to open the art season.”
