What inspires artists to create? Where do their ideas come from? How do they do that?
Join us—via Zoom—to learn about art straight from the source. The virtual Artist Symposium features micro-presentations from AWD exhibitors and studio artists while giving audience members a chance to join the conversation using the chat function. The variety of artists and event pace offers a delightfully insightful experience.

Community Media Center of Marin
ODD & off
After a year of contending with a plethora of challenges to our collective psyche, “ODD & off” was created to bring a bit of levity into our lives.
Treat yourself to a mini-tour of these odd and offbeat photographs culled from the private collection of Jill Lessard and presented by the Community Media Center of Marin through April 30.
Perhaps after checking out this virtual photo exhibit, your affection for your own quirky collection of family, friends, and colleagues will be rekindled.

COVID-19 Disclaimer: In person Art Walks have been cancelled until further notice.
The need to see art in person and to physically enjoy art together with fellow art lovers is understood and appreciated. However, in-person Art Walks are currently on hold until large group gatherings are absolutely safe for every person. Until then, we can fortunately enjoy the opportunity of online programing.
Anchored by Art Works Downtown galleries and artist studios in the heart of the Downtown San Rafael Arts District, the 2nd Friday Art Walk links venues along downtown Fourth Street in San Rafael, the second Friday of each month, 5:00 – 8:00 pm.
