After the Marin Arts Council folded in 2011, artists and arts leaders came to believe that Marin County needed an umbrella for all of the arts—visual, theater, film, literary, and music, as well as arts education. Executive Director Mary O’Mara of MarinLink (the community project incubator and fiscal sponsor), Marin Arts Council past president Pam Morton, and a dedicated group of arts community volunteers led six years of planning. MarinArts is the result. MarinArts is powered by Artsopolis, a project of Silicon Valley Creates. The platform is used by arts communities large and small throughout the United States.

ARTS ON PRESCRIPTION
June 10
MarinArts + Lark Theater | Larkspur

Join Bay Area journalist Pamela Samaniego for an introductory lecture exploring “arts on prescription,” an emerging approach that connects individuals to structured arts programs to support social, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing, and what it could mean for Marin County.

With growing research linking social isolation to serious health outcomes, and evidence that creative participation can play a meaningful role in connection and care, this lecture offers a clear, accessible overview of how these models work, what best practices show, and what it would take to move from existing programs to a more coordinated, navigable system in Marin.

Muir Beach Volunteer Firefighters | Mill Valley

The Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department (MBVFD ) is thrilled to announce details for the 52nd Annual Muir Beach Volunteer Firefighters’ Barbecue on Sunday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend, May 24, in Santos Meadow near Muir Beach and Muir Woods.

Featuring delicious food, fantastic live music, tasty craft beers, premium wine, and a whole lot of fun for the family, the Muir Beach Volunteer Firefighters’ Barbecue is a festive gathering, a favorite Memorial Day weekend tradition in Marin, and an essential fundraiser for the Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department.

Proceeds from the Barbecue will go directly toward completing the building and equipping the department, ensuring the firefighters are well-prepared to serve the community for decades to come.

Live music will keep the energy high all day! Opening the festivities is rock and roll band SunHunter, recently voted Best Band in Marin in the Pacific Sun Readers’ Poll. Perennial favorites Andre’s All-Stars, featuring top-tier musicians performing classic rock and R&B, will keep the crowd dancing.

No barbecue is complete without incredible food, and MBVFD has it covered. Muir Beach firefighters and community members will tend the smoky grills all afternoon. Barbecue chicken, crepes, vegetarian tamale lunches, handmade desserts, sodas, beer, and wine will be available, as will clothing and other items featuring the famous Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department’s iconic dog logo.

The day concludes with an exciting raffle featuring dozens of incredible prizes, including accommodations, top-tier restaurant gift certificates, and unique experiences from across the Bay Area and beyond.
