Art Works Downtown’s mission is to provide an environment where visual arts thrive for the well-being of the community.
We’ve recently expanded our mission to foster an environment where art thrives beyond the walls of the art center. As part of this initiative, we transformed a building into a vibrant public art project: Civic Wave Project, located at 1001 4th St. San Rafael, CA.
Art Works Downtown, Inc, a 501(c)3 corporation, is Marin's premier non-profit art center. Located on Fourth Street, our 40,000 square-foot building houses 4 galleries , 33 art studios, artist membership program, restaurant, jewelers guild, frame shop, ceramic center, 17 affordable housing units, and more. We provide a portfolio of regular programming such as rotating exhibits featuring emerging SF Bay Area artists, presenting the downtown’s monthly 2nd Friday Art Walk, offering membership for artists, and leading outreach programs such as the Downtown San Rafael Arts District. AWD creates a setting that fosters unity, belonging, collaboration, opportunity, and creativity – all elements of a thriving and healthy arts community.
