Support AWD

Annual Campaign

2018 is turning out to be another banner year for Art Works Downtown. We are proud to have been one of the keystone partners in securing downtown San Rafael’s designation as a California Cultural Arts District sponsored by the California Arts Council.

One of the criteria that made Art Works Downtown stand out against dozens of applicants is our mission to connect art and community. This purpose forms our north star, and we live it daily by showcasing critically acclaimed exhibits, providing affordable studios and housing, and extending artistic development opportunities for artists, seniors, and the general public. 

Our efforts have been noticed. In addition to the Arts District distinction above, Art Works Downtown was selected as the Best Art Gallery of Marin  by all the major news media: Pacific Sun, the Marin Independent Journal Readers Poll, and The Bohemian. 

Indeed, our mission inspires everything we do, and we, in turn, cannot have done it without YOU. 

Your past gifts laid the foundation for AWD to reach its current heights. Your continued support this year will be vital in advancing this legacy of excellence. 

With a tax-deductible donation from you, AWD can provide:

• Provocative and cutting-edge exhibitions
• In-house emerging artist residency programs
• Subsidized skills-building classes for artists
• Affordable Housing
