Tagged in: news

Thanks to Ann Brooks for spearheading this campaign!

Discover Art on Fourth St | San Rafael is a new URL that serves as a landing page / directory of arts related businesses in downtown San Rafael. With both Art Works Downtown and Marin Arts Council having offices and galleries downtown and the influx of galleries such as Donna Seager, ROOM, and Aurora Art Studios along with the popular 2nd Fridays Art Walk event every month, San Rafael is sure to be the next arts destination!

If you haven't heard about this yet, it is so cool! As artists, you might be particularly interested: Google has applied the same technology pioneered in Google Earth to virtually visit 17 of the world's most renowned museums and explore close up over 1,000 fine artworks.

Creativity is your Birthright!

Posted by:

Tagged in: classes

This tuesday, Nov 2nd, is the 3rd session in a 4week class on creativity and painting called, "Creativity is your Birthright!" The class currently being held in the Art Work Out Room from 6 - 8pm and ends tuesday November 9th. All materials are provided and no experience in art is required. So far several intrepid painters from the community at large have stepped forward to let that brush touch the paper in uniquely personal expression of the intuitive side of the self.

To be continued.... Back by popular demand probably after the holidays.
