    How Are Local Night Spots Supporting Emerging Musicians?
    BY Kate Fitzsimmons
    Chris Porter, Sweetwater

    Musicians suffered during the pandemic when music venues were shuttered and stage experiences were in short supply. Luckily, even though some of Marin’s great establishments closed their doors, others like Smileys, Mac’s and Sweetwater took time to reinvent themselves in ways that will support emerging talent even more.

    Making a full-time living as a musician has always been difficult. The shrinking availability of performance spaces makes it even more challenging in Marin’s post-COVID economy.

    Continuing Forward: The Mountain Play and Marin Shakespeare Company
    BY Kate Fitzsimmons
    Mountain Play production of West Side Story, 2016

    During the pandemic, Cushing Memorial Amphitheater didn’t host a Mountain Play production, and Forest Meadows Amphitheater did not have performances by Marin Shakespeare Company. Don't panic. These organizations weren’t lost to COVID-19. Instead, Marin’s beloved summer theater companies are up to some exciting things.

    Recently, I had the pleasure of sipping a cup of chai while watching a baby deer lounging under a nearby Redwood Tree in my friend, curator Anne Veh's Mill Valley garden. Our conversation moved from the beauty of the garden to the two limited-edition artist books recently completed in collaboration with Korea-based Sangyon Joo.

    Pandemic Pivot: O’Hanlon Center’s Commitment to Diversify
    BY Paula Farmer
    Orin Carpenter

    In the aftermath of Covid-19 shutdowns, the Marin-based O’Hanlon Center for the Arts has had a unique set of challenges throughout the pandemic. With the subsequent murder of George Floyd and rise of the Black Lives Matter movement last year, further adjustments were made, and in some instances, the Center thrived.

    Marin Mixtape, Volume II: Songs That Reference Marin
    BY Zack Ruskin
    mt-tam-snow

    While San Francisco may enjoy the lion’s share of musical mentions in the region, Marin has its own legacy of namechecking, defined by the Urban Dictionary as “how people look cool by association by naming a famous place or person.”
