Artists Days at Tao House

Artist Days at Tao House

The Eugene O'Neill Foundation, in partnership with the National Park Service, announces its 12th annual Artist Days at Tao House.

The program offers Bay Area artists an opportunity to create new works in all media or artistic genre in the inspirational environment of the 11-acre site that was once the home of the legendary American playwright Eugene O'Neill.

Since private vehicles are not allowed on the property, artists will assemble at 8:45 a.m. each day at the Museum of the San Ramon Valley in Danville (205 Railroad Avenue). They will board a National Park Service van for the short trip to the site. The van will return to the parking lot at 2:45 p.m.

Because space on the van is limited, artists are asked to limit the size and volume of items they wish to bring with them. They should also provide their own food and beverages. Water, refrigeration and restrooms are available on the site.
