About

For 26 years, the Marin Arts Council has championed the arts, ensuring that the arts are woven into Marin’s infrastructure, making our quality of life one of the best in the nation.

We support artists by providing grants, sponsorships and programs that provide direct financial support to keep artists and future artists living and working in Marin.

We promote the arts through major civic celebrations, by showcasing and promoting local performing artists and arts organizations, and by advocating for increased funding and recognition of the arts overall.

We transform the community by bridging cultural, economic and social divides, by working to ensure access to the experience and practice of the arts to every resident in Marin, and most especially to those with limited resources and opportunities.
