You don’t need to figure this out yourself! BAARN, the Bay Area Arts Readiness Network, has launched to provide the resources and information you need to be more prepared and resilient. BAARN is designed specifically for the risks you face, and crafted in ways that blend into your busy schedule and hectic pace. BAARN offerings are free and address crises ranging from natural disasters to data crashes, from loss of key personnel to event cancellations, and from threats to your artwork/instruments/digital assets to water leaks and building damage. Whether you have a physical venue or not - whether you work solo or with a team - preparing protects what you’ve worked so hard to create.

Be part of the art at the Marin County Fair!

Marin Cultural Association is a proud sponsor of the 2026 Marin County Fair, and we invite you to be part of the creativity, community, and celebration.

This year’s theme, Stars, Stripes & Stories, celebrates the stories that connect us through art, culture, and imagination. These opportunities invite artists, organizations, and community members of all ages to help create a Marin arts community that is truly by and for all.

Artists, writers, and creatives of all ages are invited to submit work to the Marin County Fair Competitive Exhibits and help bring this year’s theme to life!

From paintings and ceramics to photography, handcrafted works, quilts, fiber arts, and wearable art, every piece tells a story worth sharing.

In 2008, Stuart Schwartz founded The Image Flow with one initial goal: to provide high-quality photographic printing services to Marin County – because, in the words of Stuart, “it’s not a photograph until it’s a print.” The Image Flow aims to celebrate photography in all its forms and to provide a local hub for photographers of all levels to create work, exchange ideas, and innovate the medium of photography.

“We believe in the power of the printed image, building a community of creatives, and being a space to come together to celebrate art.” - Page Sullivan, Front Desk & Digital Media Manager
