Join us for this year’s salon-style AWD Member Showcase at Art Works Downtown—opening in time for the holiday gift-giving season and remaining on view through San Francisco Art Week and Marin Art Day in January.

This special exhibition celebrates the creativity of Art Works Downtown members, with artwork displayed throughout the Founders’ Gallery, Donors’ Gallery, and Artist’s Wall at Art Works Downtown in downtown San Rafael.

This year, participating artists will receive even more visibility. The exhibition will be prominently featured during Marin Art Day at Art Works Downtown on Sunday, January 17, as part of San Francisco Art Week.

Visitors will be invited to experience the Member Showcase alongside 35+ open artist studios, exhibitions, artist talks and programming, food and wine, and special activities throughout the Art Works Downtown art center. Marin Art Day offers participating artists an additional opportunity to connect with collectors, arts audiences, and the broader San Francisco Bay Area creative community.

Show your work. Reach new audiences. Be part of one of AWD’s most vibrant exhibitions of the year.

This is an AWD Members-only exhibition. Only current AWD members are eligible to participate.
